• Software developed to calculate the stress concentrations in the vicinity of a borehole drilled at an arbitrary direction through an elastically anisotropic rock formation. The code developed is based on the Lekhnitskij-Amadei solution. This code is associated with Li, W., D.R. Schmitt, M. Tibbo, and C. Zou, A program to calculate the state of stress in the vicinity of an inclined borehole through an anisotropic rock formation, Geophysics, 84, F103-118, 2019.
  
  The code is provided both in Matlab and in Python.
