| Description | Calcite e-twinning has been used for stress inversion purposes since the fifties. The commonly used technique is the Etchecopar method (e.g. Laurent et al., 1981), based on testing of 500-1000 randomly generated reduced stress tensors using a penalization function fL. A systematic search of all possible reduced stress tensors with a new penalization function fR double checked with a spatial distribution plot is suggested. |
