Abstract: The Cauchy relations from linear elasticity are treated in this paper in a form that is invariant under two groups of transformations: indices permutation and general linear transformations of the basis. The irreducible decomposition induced by the permutation group is outlined. The Cauchy relations are then formulated as a requirement of nullification of an invariant subspace. A successive decomposition under rotation group allows to define the partial Cauchy relations and two types of elastic materials. We explore several applications of the full and partial Cauchy relations in physics of materials. The structure's deviation from the basic physical assumptions of Cauchy's model is defined in an invariant form. The Cauchy and non-Cauchy contributions to Hooke's law and elasticity energy are explained. We identify wave velocities and polarization vectors that are independent of the non-Cauchy part for acoustic wave propagation. Several bounds are derived for the elasticity invariant parameters.
