Abstract
Elastic measurements on La-based and Y-based bulk oxide superconductiv e materials in the temperature range 4.2-350 K are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the elastic behavior near the superconducting transition temperature T(c) and at higher temperatures where phase transitions or structural instabilities may occur. Possible mechanisms responsible f or the observed elastic anomalies are discussed.
