Linear and nonlinear modulus surfaces in stress space, from stress-strain measurements on Berea sandstone

The elastic response of many rocks to quasistatic stress changes is highly nonlinear and hysteretic, displaying discrete memory. Rocks also display unusual nonlinear response to dynamic stress changes. A model to describe the elastic behavior of rocks and other consolidated materials is called...
