Abstract: Before catastrophe, such as earthquakes, some precursors will appear. The tremendous change of state vector is one of them, which has been investigated in the present paper. By using acoustic emission technique the creation and growth of microcracks in rock specimens that stressed by triaxial stresses have been registered during the course of the experiment. The experimental results indicate that prior to the failure of rock specimens, all the related parameters of state vector have been undergone remarkable change. That means state vector could be adopted as precursor for catastrophe in brittle media and also served as a measurement to predict failure of brittle media and earthquakes.
