Anisotropy pattern arising from application of a triaxial stress to a dry isotropic rock

Elastic wave velocities in rocks vary with stress due to the presence of discontinuities and microcracks within the rock. We analytically derive a model for seismic anisotropy caused by small triaxial stresses applied on a linearly isotropic elastic medium permeated by a distribution of cracks with...
