The application of uniaxial pressure can induce elastic anisotropy in otherwise isotropic rocks. The authors consider models based on two very different rock classes, granites and weakly consolidated granular systems. They show that these models share common underlying assumptions, that they lead to similar qualitative behavior, and that both provide a microscopic basis for elliptical anisotropy. In the granular case, they make experimentally verifiable predictions regarding the horizontally propagating modes based on the measured behavior of the vertical modes.
