Abstract
We consider properties of long wavelength acoustic phonons propagating in a nisotropic elastic media. For cubic media we found three subregions of mech anical stability region in which polarization properties of modes are anoma lous. To achieve the detailed specification of this unusual behavior we per formed vast numerical calculations and devised new characteristics, namely surfaces of polarization angles and maps of polarization enhancement factor s.
