    they begin to give and break apart or deform. Another major part of the experiment was that P and S wave elastic velocities were continuously measured with the different orientations with the respect of the bedding and what the maximum compression stress the shale could handle, this is the triaxial portion of the experiment I explained earlier. The reason that the scientists implemented the measurement of the P and S elastic velocities is because it allowed them to really pinpoint the presence of
