Note that their conclusion of the absence of an elastic regime pertains to the observation that the plastic response adds up over the long run, while the dominant elastic response averages to zero.

21. a slightly more complicated elastic energy w= 2 5 B Δ2+b +A Δa us2, was considered in the first reference. Weighing accuracy versus simplicity, we find the improvements achieved by allowing a,b, to deviate from each other not worth the loss of analytic manipulability. Taking a=b∼ 1 2, implying K,μ∼ P2, would perhaps better reflect the acoustic data, though be less appropriate with respect to the yield. More complex energy expressions may well be needed for quantitative investigations, but the general strategy of the present approach should remain valid. Note A= K a = 1 2 A, B= 5 4 K b = 5 4 B.
