The South Armorican Shear Zone
Journal of Structural Geology, 1980Abstract The main lithological features and structural relations of the South Armorican Shear Zone (S.A.S.Z.) are described and the evolution of physical conditions during deformation is outlined. Age constraints on the timing of shearing deformation are discussed and an attempt is made to place the S.A.S.Z. in its regional geodynamic context.

Folds in ductile shear zones are common structures that have a variety of origins. These can be pre-existing folds that become modified or folds developed during the shearing event. Among the syn-shearing folds, a second subdivision is based on the relative age of the folded surface, which can be pre-existing or newly formed during the shearing event ...

Restraining bends in high temperature shear zones: The “Central Cameroon Shear Zone”, Central Africa
Journal of African Earth Sciences, 2008Abstract A detailed structural study of the Central Cameroon Shear Zone (CCSZ) segment, in the Bamoun plateau (BP) and the Tikar plain (TP) (West Cameroon), reveals a complex strain geometry of this shear zone. It shows thick mylonite bands wrapping around lenses of various country rock types, at small, medium and large scales. The mylonite foliation

Deformation in a complex crustal-scale shear zone: Errabiddy Shear Zone, Western Australia
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2004Abstract Detailed mapping of four areas representing different geological units with varying formation histories within the crustal-scale Errabiddy Shear Zone shows an apparently simple temporal progression from foliation and mineral lineation development to folding and then to brittle deformation across the shear zone. However, in detail the

Ductile Shearing in Attur Shear Zone and its Relation with Moyar Shear Zone, South India
Gondwana Research, 2000Abstract In the eastern part of southern Peninsular India, the charnockitic hills of the Madras block are cut across by the E-W trending Attur shear zone (ASZ) which is characterised by a thick (1 to 1.5 km) phyllonite zone, showing intense mylonitisation due to ductile shearing.

The behaviour of landslides in clay is essentially governed by a shear zone located at the base of the soil mass. While some data regarding the shear zones of slides are available, information is rather poor about the shear zones of mudslides. The paper reports some results of investigations on the shear zone located at the base of a mudslide, showing

Abstract Although many ductile shear zones are supposed to have developed by approximately simple shear flow, some must have formed under different conditions. A few types of such ‘non-simple shear zones’ have been proposed in the literature such as transpression-, transtension- and stretching-shear zones. This paper presents a full three-dimensional

Maximum entropy and shear strain of shear zone
Mathematical Geology, 1992The principle of maximum entropy can be used to determine the shear strain in natural shear zones. When the margin of a shear zone is assumed, the principle leads to the truncated exponential distribution of the shear strain. Ifx is the distance remote from the shear zone center, which possesses the maximum shear strain, the shear strain γ (x) is given

Terminations of ductile shear zones
Tectonophysics, 1986Abstract We propose a plane strain model for ductile shear zone terminations in rocks that otherwise record no visible shear strain. This model may explain the strain distribution patterns in naturally occurring terminations of shear zone which show, in the XZ plane of finite strain, (1) a decrease in the area of finite strain and in strain ...
