Von Mises stress distribution inside a digital object created to simulate the carbonate sample with the elastic property contrast. Left: 3D display of the stress distribution. Right: a 2D axial slice of the 3D model taken along the central axis. The boundary condition at the surface of the sample is uniform (hydrostatic) tension of 30 MPa.
