l 附录1 外文翻译原文 Elastic models Anisotropy An isotropic material has the same properties in all directions—we cannot dis-tinguish any one direction from any other. Samples taken out of the ground with any orientation would behave identically. However, we know that soils have been deposited in some way—for example, sedimentary soils will know about the vertical direction of gravitational deposition. There may in addition be seasonal variations in the rate of deposition so that the soil contains more or less marked layers of slightly different grain size and/or plasticity. The scale of layering m
