Maximum principal stress in strike-slip faulting
Input(s)
\(\sigma_{c}\): Least Principle Stress (psi)
\(S_{\text {hmax }}\): Maximum Horizontal Stress (psi)
\(P_{p}\): Pore Pressure \((\mathrm{psi})\)
\(S_{\text {hmin }}\): Minimum Horizontal Stress (psi)
Output(s)
б: Maximum Principle Stress (psi)
Formula(s)
\[
\sigma=\frac{\sigma_{\mathrm{c}} *\left(\mathrm{~S}_{\mathrm{hmax}}-\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{p}}\right)}{\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{hmin}}-\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{p}}}
\]
