Abstract
A method for displaying geologic stress includes determining magnitudes and directions of principal stresses at at least one a selected location. An analog symbol is generated for each magnitude and direction of the principal stresses. The analog symbols include a magnitude descriptor and a direction descriptor. The analog symbols are stored or displayed.
Claims19
A method for displaying geologic stress, comprising:
- determining magnitudes and directions of principal stress components at at least one selected location;
- generating an analog symbol for each magnitude and direction of each principal stress component, each analog symbol including a magnitude descriptor and a direction descriptor, wherein the magnitude descriptor of one of the principal stress components comprises a planar geometric shape and the direction descriptor of that principal stress component is perpendicular to the plane of the geometric shape;
- and
- displaying the analog symbols.
