Deformation bands are common subseismic structures in porous sandstones that vary with
respect to deformation mechanisms, geometries and distribution. The amount of cataclasis …

Contractional deformation of highly porous sandstones is poorly explored, as compared to
extensional deformation of such sedimentary rocks. In this work we explore the highly …

Complexity of the mechanical behavior of geomaterials makes it very difficult to formulate
constitutive models (both at micro-and macro-scales) valid for different loading conditions …

Compaction bands are a type of localized deformation that can occur as diffuse or discrete
bands in porous rocks. While modeling of shear bands can replicate discrete and diffusive …

We analyze deformation bands found in a pyroclastics locality at the Shitiping outcrop in
eastern Taiwan, allowing close inspection of their features and evolution. To quantify their …

Abstract The Buckskin Gulch locality in Utah is a landmark example of compaction
localization. The outcrop of this locality involves distinct stratigraphic heterogeneity and was …

We analyse deformation bands related to horizontal contraction with an intermittent period of
horizontal extension in Miocene turbidites of the Whakataki Formation south of Castlepoint …

The term compaction band identifies a rich variety of structural features of the Earth's crust
that affect formations of sedimentary rocks. The most common definition for compaction band …

This volume examines the current best practice and new challenges in reservoir
characterization and modelling of small-to subseismic-scale deformation features through …

This thesis examined how deformation structures hosted in sedimentary rocks of the
Wairarapa, New Zealand, record subduction initiation and the development and evolution of …
