Slide 5: Stress in materials
STRESS in materials • Active stress – produces energies (ex: piezoelectricity, piezoelectricity Kaiser Effect) • Static St ti stress t – affects ff t energy propagation ti (photoelasticity & seismic AVO) Light g propagation p p g More colors mean in the absence higher g internal off stress t shear s
Slide 6: Why detect stress
SFD® Why Wh ddetect Stress S ..... In this example, example the porous sandstone and the shale carry the same density density. Equal density implies equal gravitational acceleration. acceleration Therefore mass‐based gravimeters yield the same measurement value over both Therefore, both. The elastic
