Eringen and Suhubi [1], [2] introduced the general theory of micro-elasticity whereby the local deformations of material points are taken into account, the necessity for this consideration being the nonhomogeneity of the material at the local level.nOne of the problem areas of micro-elasticity remaining is the determination of the material constants (either analytically or experimentally) which even for the linear isotropic theory number eighteen. In addition, an inertia constant must be determined.nThis report is a study of the relationship of a linear micromorphic material to linear classically elastic constituents and investigates the possibility of obtaining the material constants from the properties of the constituents.
