*The larger axial ratio is, the greater the stress concentration
will be.
*Cracks or discontinuities (Griffith cracks) with high axial ratio
will propagate first under stress.

-consequences:
relation between the geometry of fault and the associated stress
conditions. This is an angular relationship between shear fractures and
principal stress axis.

s2 = 4T0n-4(T0)2=0
T0: Uniaxial tensile strength of the rock
-Micro-discontinuities oriented parallel to the direction of
maximum shear stress will grow faster than randomly oriented
fractures.
