“…The mechanism of stress memory of rocks has been discussed by Holcomb (1993) and Yamamoto (2009). In practical terms, Villaescusa et al (2002) demonstrated that the stress states estimated by the DRA under various geological environments were in good agreement with those obtained by the stress relief method.…”

An often disputed subject is whether the stress memory of rocks can be reproduced by deformation rate analysis (DRA). Doubt has also been expressed on whether a rock can memorize its stress history. We compared the stress state around the Atera fault system, central Japan, using the hydraulic fracture test (HFT) and DRA at the same boreholes. The quality of the HFT results at these holes, especially that of the magnitude of maximum horizontal compression (S H max ), was recently improved by considering the tensile strength of the borehole wall. The S H max azimuth determined by the DRA was about N-S. Although this is inconsistent with the geological presumption, it agrees well with the S H max azimuth estimated by the HFT and the drilling-induced tensile fracture (DITF). The magnitudes of horizontal principal stresses obtained by DRA were generally consistent with the improved HFT results, and the consistency between stress states estimated by the DRA and the HFT indicates the existence of stress memory. Based on our results, we conclude that the DRA can be one option for measuring the stress state of the earth's crust.

“…The Kaiser effect is a well-known phenomenon in metallurgy (Kaiser 1950) but also in rock mechanics (Lockner 1993;Holcomb 1993;Lavrov 2003). It states that if a sample is subjected to a cyclic stress history, no acoustic emission occurs over a cycle until the applied stress exceeds the maximum previously applied stress.…”

“…This simple procedure was employed with some success in the 1970s. However, the important role of the triaxial stress state in the formation of stress memory and of the Kaiser effect was eventually recognized [2,[11][12][13]. Since then, comprehensive experimental [2,4,[13][14][15] and theoretical [11,[16][17][18][19][20][21] studies were carried out in order to investigate the stress memory and damage surface formation under triaxial stress conditions.…”

Sensitivity of the Kaiser effect to the deviations of the directions of s 1 -principal stress experienced by rock in successive loading cycles has an important impact on the application of this effect for stress measurements in rocks. The paper presents an analysis of the gradual Kaiser effect degradation with increasing deviation of the principal stress axes between loading cycles in Brazilian experiments. An experimental study was carried out to investigate the Kaiser effect in cyclic loading tests of disk specimens of a brittle limestone in diametrical compression with acoustic emission measurement. Tests were performed in which disks were loaded in two cycles without or with rotations between successive cycles. The rotation angle varied between 01 and 901. The Kaiser effect became gradually less pronounced with increasing rotation angle, but remained detectable for angles o101. Rotation by more than 101 resulted in complete disappearance of the effect. These experimental results were confirmed by numerical simulations using the displacement discontinuity method. r
