The yield stress—a review or 'παντα ρει'—everything flows?

HA Barnes - Journal of non-newtonian fluid mechanics, 1999 - Elsevier
An account is given of the development of the idea of a yield stress for solids, soft solids and
structured liquids from the beginning of this century to the present time. Originally, it was …

Evolution of mica fish in mylonitic rocks

SM Ten Grotenhuis, RAJ Trouw, CW Passchier - Tectonophysics, 2003 - Elsevier
Mineral fish are lozenge-shaped porphyroclasts, single crystals in a finer grained matrix,
which occur in ductile shear zones and which are commonly used as shear sense …

The behaviour of deformable and non-deformable inclusions in viscous flow

FO Marques, N Mandal, R Taborda, JV Antunes… - Earth-Science …, 2014 - Elsevier
Many are the situations in Geology in which non-deformable and deformable inclusions are
carried about in suspension by the motion of a fluid, or a rock behaving like a fluid …

The structural evolution of sheath folds: A case study from Cap de Creus

GI Alsop, J Carreras - Journal of Structural Geology, 2007 - Elsevier
It has long been recognised that within zones of intense non-coaxial deformation, fold
hinges may rotate progressively towards the transport direction ultimately resulting in highly …

The development of sheath folds in viscously stratified materials in simple shear conditions: An analogue approach

D Dell'Ertole, WP Schellart - Journal of Structural Geology, 2013 - Elsevier
Sheath folds are highly non-cylindrical folds occurring in a variety of geological settings, and
have been studied using different approaches. With the present work, we provide a …

Geodynamic evolution of the SW Variscides: Orogenic collapse shown by new tectonometamorphic and isotopic data from western Ossa‐Morena Zone, SW Iberia

FM Rosas, FO Marques, M Ballevre, C Tassinari - Tectonics, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
The pre‐Mesozoic geodynamic evolution of SW Iberia has been investigated on the basis of
detailed structural analysis, isotope dating, and petrologic study of high‐pressure (HP) …

Scale invariant sheath folds in salt, sediments and shear zones

GI Alsop, RE Holdsworth, KJW McCaffrey - Journal of Structural Geology, 2007 - Elsevier
Sheath folds are developed in a broad spectrum of geological environments in which
material flow occurs, including gravity-driven surficial deformation in ignimbrites …

Rotation of rigid elliptical cylinders in viscous simple shear flow: analogue experiments

FO Marques, S Coelho - Journal of Structural Geology, 2001 - Elsevier
We used experiments to investigate the behaviour of rigid elliptical cylinders embedded in a
viscous fluid of finite thickness, and for very small ratios (S) between shear zone width (z) …

Sheath fold development around deformable inclusions: Integration of field-analysis (Cima Lunga unit, Central Alps) and 3D numerical models

M Maino, M Adamuszek, FL Schenker, S Seno… - Journal of Structural …, 2021 - Elsevier
We investigated complex tectonic structures within a km-scale shear zone (Cima Lunga
unit), which is traditionally interpreted as generated by multiple, distinct deformation phases …

A critique of vorticity analysis using rigid clasts

C Li, D Jiang - Journal of Structural Geology, 2011 - Elsevier
Estimating the kinematic vorticity numbers from rock fabrics presents many problems. In this
paper we use numerical modeling to investigate the reliability of those widely-used vorticity …
