Abstract
Summary. Wave motion in an anisotropic solid is fundamentally different from motion in an isotropic solid, although the effects are often subtle and difficult to recognize. There are such a wide range of three-dimensional variations possible in anisotropic media that it is difficult to understand the behaviour of wave motion without experimentation. Laboratory experiments are very difficult to construct and extensive numerical experiments have now given many theoretical insights so that the behaviour of waves in anisotropic media is now comparatively well understood. This introduction summarizes some of the relationships and insights required for this understanding.
