We discuss several physical constraints imposed on elasticity parameters of a transversely isotropic (TI) tensor. There are three types of restrictions we investigate; a fundamental one of stability conditions, and two additional ones, commonly considered in seismology. The first commonly considered restriction comes from an assumption of a wave with a greater speed in the horizontal than vertical direction. The second constitute the assumption that quasi-P wave is faster than quasi-S waves. We show several numerical examples to examine how these restrictions affect a TI tensor with known values of certain elasticity constants that could be acquired from the vertical or horizontal measurements.
