Abstract: Elastic constants of orthoenstatite have been determined from Brillouin-scattering measurements. They are c11 = 2.247, c22 = 1.779, c33 = 2.136, c44 = 0.776, c55 = 0.759, c66 = 0.816, c23 = 0.527, c31 = 0.541 and c12 = 0.724 Mbar. Each elastic constant is uniquely defined by the data. Acoustic velocities measured for two directions ultrasonically on the same samples are within 1% of those determined from Brillouin-scattering spectra.
