Abstract
Three-point correlation bounds based on minimuni energy principlea are constructed to give estimates on the effective elaatic bulk modulul of disordered multi- component materials. The constructed trial fields are extensions of Hashin-Shtrikman polarization ones used in our previous approach and lead to tighter bounds. Some examples of applicaitions are presented.
