Edge effects in fault mechanics

 When you test rock samples in a big machine, you see the fracture patterns.  This was my background in rock mechanics.  Geotechnical engineering and rock mechanics is a dead field now, because everybody and their dog thinks they can do it.  This has led to amazing failures.  The same goes for basic physics.If you compress a rock sample you'll will get 'triplet' failure.  That's a thrust (
