A new experimental setup for the analysis of deformation of rock analogues is presented. The hardware component consists of a rotating polariser stage and the software component includes several specialised pieces of ...
Deformation by 'pressure solution' (or 'water-assisted stress-induced diffusion transfer') is modelled by incorporating volume transfers - driven by variations in mean stress and competency contrast - into a finite element ...
A fast and accurate optical method to calculate quartz c-axis orientations using the rotating polarizer stage and standard thin sections is presented. c-Axis orientations are calculated for each pixel and Achsenverteilungsanalyse ...
