Abstract
A recent article by Vigdergauz considered two-component linearly elast ic plates. It showed the existence of spatially periodic microstructur es producing plates of extremal rigidity. For the microstructures whic h maximize or minimize the effective bulk modulus, Vigdergauz asserted that the effective behavior was isotropic. We show this is wrong: the effective tensor is in fact anisotropic.
