Introduction measurements, on rock samples of granites and granulites; the second aim is to analyze the acoustic emission (AE) arising from Lower crustal and upper mantle rocks exposed at the Earth’s the reaction of both rock types on the acting uniaxial loading. surface provide a direct possibility of measuring their physical The measurements of the directional dependence of P-waves properties that must, in other cases, be assessed using indirect velocities were made on spherical rock samples in 132 indepen- methods. The results of direct measurements can then be used to dent directions at selected levels of the confining
