M-eigenvalues of fourth-order partially symmetric tensors play an important role in nonlinear elasticity and materials. In this paper, we present some M-eigenvalue intervals to locate all M-eigenvalues of fourth-order partially symmetric tensors. It is proved that the new interval is tighter than the one proposed by He, Li and Wei [16]. Furthermore, we obtain some new checkable sufficient conditions for the strong ellipticity of fourth-order partially symmetric tensors. Three numerical examples arising from anisotropic materials are presented to verify the efficiency of the proposed results.
