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 rotational behaviour of rigid objects in a weaker rock matrix during deformation has
been the subject of many field, experimental and numerical modelling studies, often centred …

Polymineralic rocks display three end‐member types of mechanical and microstructural
behavior:(1) strong minerals form a load‐bearing framework that contains spaces filled with …

Mylonitic rocks and rock-analogue materials reveal two basic types of structure:(1) a load-
bearing framework (LBF) of strong phase contains isolated pockets of weak phase;(2) …

A constitutive model is developed for the effective behavior of nonlinear porous materials
which is capable of accounting, approximately, for the evolution of the material's …

Mathematical modelling of the relationships between the low-field magnetic anisotropy and
strain are redeveloped, and the calculated data are compared with the degree of anisotropy …

An analytical model is presented for the deformation of an ellipsoidal Newtonian droplet,
suspended in another Newtonian fluid with different viscosity and zero interfacial tension …

Theory predicts that stretching lineations in an ideal vertical transpressional zone should be
either vertical or horizontal. Many field descriptions of transpressional zones, however …

Mean-field homogenization is an established and computationally efficient method
estimating the effective linear elastic behavior of composites. In view of short-fiber reinforced …

The growth of an isolated void is analysed for a void contained in a block of material
undergoing simple shearing combined with superimposed hydrostatic tension. The …
