Stress-induced anisotropy model for triaxially stressed rocks
Elastic wave velocities in rocks vary with stress due to the presence of discontinuities and microcracks within the rock. In this paper, we analytically derive a model for seismic anisotropy caused by small triaxial stresses. We first consider a linearly isotropic elastic medium permeated by a distr...
