N2 - In this paper, we focus on the effective elastic constants of composite materials and pay attention to the possibility of reducing the number of independent variables. Surprisingly, this important issue has hardly been explored before. In our analysis, we rely on a new result in plane elasticity due to Cherkaev, Lurie, and Milton (1992), and use Dundurs constants. As an example, we consider a result for the effective elastic moduli of a composite containing a dilute concentration of perfectly-bonded circular inclusions.
