Abstract
A theoretical study suggests a distinction between the elasticity coefficients for very high frequencies (of the elastic waves representing thermal agitation) and for low frequencies. These last coefficients should show a rapid decrease of rigidity when temperature increases, and the melting point can be said to represent the point at which the macroscopic rigidity becomes zero.Keywords
