A simple iterative technique has been devised to determine the elastic constants of a material of any symmetry with weak or strong anisotropy from phase velocity information. The method requires that multiple velocities and directions of propagation be observed and that crude estimates of the corresponding polarization be made. The formulation of this procedure is exact and does not have the limitations of previous approximation methods.
