71. This follows from the variational property of the elastic energy with respect to the displacement field. Deep inside a semi-infinite slab the displacement field goes to zero. When a plane on which the displacement is forced to be zero is artificially placed at some finite depth, the elastic energy increases. However, when the lower portion of the semi-infinite slab up to the same finite depth is discarded and the slab is allowed to relax, the elastic energy decreases. These are the upper and lower bounds of the elastic energy for the chosen thickness of the slab.
