Modelling anisotropy pattern of dry rocks as a function of applied stress

We propose an analytical model for seismic anisotropy caused by application of an anisotropic stress to an isotropic dry rock. We first consider an isotropic linearly elastic medium (porous or non-porous) permeated by a distribution of discontinuities with random (isotropic) orientation (such as ran...
