Scientific paper

Extensive-dilatancy anisotropy is the hypothesized distribution of stress-aligned fluid-filled microcracks pervading most rocks in the earth's crust. The geometry of the cracks and the aligning stress-field can be monitored by analyzing the waveforms of shear waves propagating through the rockmass. The ability to estimate some of the parameters of the crack and stress geometry by analyzing shear-wave particle displacements has widespread implications.
