On the Backus average of layers with randomly oriented elasticity tensors
Len Bos, Michael A. Slawinski, Theodore Stanoev
As shown by Backus (1962), the average of a stack of isotropic layers results in a transversely isotropic medium. Herein, we consider a stack of layers consisting of a randomly ori…
On possible issues of Backus average
Ayiaz Kaderali, Izabela Kudela, Theodore Stanoev
In this paper, we continue the study of Bos et al. (2018) regarding statistical and numerical considerations of the Backus (1962) product approximation. While the approximation is…
On effects of inhomogeneity on anisotropy in Backus average
Filip P. Adamus, Ayiaz Kaderali, Michael A. Slawinski +1
In general, the Backus average of an inhomogeneous stack of isotropic layers is a transversely isotropic medium. Herein, we examine a relation between this inhomogeneity and the st…
