Abstract
Elastic constants were measured for 70 samples of transversely isotropic banded gneiss from the Onyang region. Anisotropic angles of samples are $0^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $75^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$. Exact values of $E_2$ and ${\nu}_{21}$ can be measured from samples with anisotropic angles of $0^{\circ}$ and those of $E_1$ and ${\nu}_{12}$ from samples with anisotropic angles of $90^{\circ}$. These values are set as reference values. Elastic constants measured from samples with anisotropic angles of $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, and $75^{\circ}$, using the methods proposed by Jang et al. (2001) and Park et al. (2008), are compared with the reference values to examine the effectiveness of the two methods. $E_1$ were measured correctly from samples with anisotropic angles of $60^{\circ}$ and $75^{\circ}$, and $E_2$ from samples with anisotropic angles of $15^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$, when using the method suggested by Jang et al. (2001). $E_1$ were measured correctly from samples with anisotropic angles of $45^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$, and $E_2$ from samples with anisotropic angles of $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, and $60^{\circ}$, when using the method proposed by Park et al. (2008). The effectiveness of the two methods was determined by error rates between exact values and measured values. The effectiveness of the two methods was similar. However, the method suggested by Jang et al. (2001) may be more effective in measuring $E_1$, while the method suggested by Park et al. (2008) may be more effective in measuring $E_2$.
