Abstract: The strength and failure behaviors of geomaterials, such as soils and rocks, are commonly anisotropic because of lamination and sedimentation. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of anisotropy on ...

Abstract: The onset of strain localization is indicated by the weak-discontinuity bifurcation condition—namely, the determinant of the acoustic tensor must be zero. In this study, the analytical solution of the acoustic tensors in ...
