Abstract: We study a class of power-law stored energy functions for spherically symmetric elastic bodies that includes well-known material models, such as the Saint Venant-Kirchhoff, Hadamard, Signorini and John models. We identify a finite subclass of these stored energy functions, which we call Lam'e type, that depend on no more material parameters than the bulk modulus kappa>0 and the Poisson ratio 1<uleq1/2. A general theorem proving the existence of static self-gravitating elastic balls for some power-law materials has been given elsewhere. In this paper numerical evidence is provided that some hypotheses in this theorem are necessary, while others are not.
