positive definiteness of the Stress Polarization Tensor

Submitted by everestar on

Can anyone show me  the
 positive definiteness of the Stress Polarization Tensor  Pijkl, i.e.,

τij* Pijkl τkl*≥o,

and further, 

τij* Mijkl τkl*≥τij* Pijkl τkl*,

where, 
Mijkl is the elastic compliance tensor,  τij* is arbitrary stress polarization with τij*=−Lijkl  εkl*.

 

Many many thanks.
