Abstract A method is described to determine the direction of vibration of ordinary ultrasonic transducers which emit transverse waves perpendicularly into the specimen. This knowledge is of great importance for the determination of the elements of the elasticityc tensor of anisotropic materials. In addition, a pulse echo method is described for accurate measurements of sound wave velocities in the material. This method is applied to a monocrystal made of pure copper.
