The calculation of strain from the preferred orientation of platy phyllosilicate grains, taking
strain to be homogeneous, is surprisingly often successful from a pragmatic point of view …

The theory of the elastic fields round ellipsoidal inclusions and inhomogeneities together
with the well-known analogy between linear elasticity and slow incompressible viscous flow …

In the eclogitic micaschists of the Monte Mucrone area (Sesia-Lanzo zone, Italian Western
Alps), we have measured in detail the eclogitic lineation at several outcrops. We present …

The free energy of a grain in a rock at depth varies as a function of the texture of its
surroundings, either due to fluctuations in stress, strain energy, or interfacial factors. Herein …

For 2D linear viscous flow, it is shown that the rates of rotation and stretch of an isolated
elliptical inclusion with a coaxial elliptical rim are fully determined by two corresponding …

The strain rates and stresses developed within and around an elliptical (resp. spheroidal)
inclusion embedded in a viscous matrix are determined for a prescribed plane (resp. axially …

We examine the influence of object shape on strain, taking the example of an elliptical object
in a matrix of different viscosity. The Eshelby–Bilby equation for the cross-sectional strain of …

Detailed strain mapping of deformed conglomerates at the base of the Laksefjord Nappe,
Finnmark, N Norway has been carried out in an attempt to identify strain gradients adjacent …

The fate of the subducted oceanic crust has been a subject of controversy since the
hypothesis of plate tectonics was first proposed. There is now considerable evidence to …

Deformation experiments with initially spherical and prolate viscous inclusions suspended in
a viscous Newtonian matrix in a circular high strain annular shear rig provide insights on the …
