Scale-dependent influence of pre-existing basement shear zones on rift faulting : a case study from NE Brazil [PDF]

, 2013
Rifting of continental crust initiates faults that are commonly influenced by pre-existing structures. We document newly identified faults cutting Precambrian units in the interior of the NE Brazilian margin to assess the effects of structural ...

Universal and wide shear zones in granular bulk flow [PDF]

, 2004
We present experiments on slow granular flows in a modified (split-bottomed) Couette geometry in which wide and tunable shear zones are created away from the sidewalls.

Structural and hydrogeological features of Pleistocene shear zones in the area of Rome (Central Italy)

Annals of Geophysics, 1994
The last tectonic episode observed in the Latium Tyrrhenian margin (Central Italy), few km cast of Rome, is represented by a set of middIe-upper Pleistocene N-S shear zones, characterised by complex geometric and kinematic setting.

Structure and tectonic significance of high- and low-temperature deformation along the lateral escape-related Guaçuí and Batatal shear zones, southern Araçuaí Orogen (southeastern Brazil)

REM: International Engineering Journal, 2020
The Guacuí and Batatal lineaments in the southern region of the state of Espírito Santo (southeastern Brazil) can be traced from satellite images for tens of kilometers.

PT-conditions of deformation within the Palaeoproterozoic South Finland shear zone: Some geothermobarometric results [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2005
Four rock samples were collected from the crustal-scale South Finland shear zone in order to compare PT-conditions of deformation between gneissose and mylonitic rock types.

Distribution, characteristics, ages, and tectonic environments of ductile shear zones in the Beishan orogenic belt

Dizhi lixue xuebao
Objective  The Beishan occupies a pivotal position between the eastern and western segments of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). Although numerous ductile shear zones have been identified in this area, they have received limited attention, leading ...

Timing of Palaeoproterozoic crustal shearing in the central Fennoscandian Shield according to U-Pb data from associated granitoids, Finland [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2001
Granitoids in the Finnish part of the Fennoscandian Shield were created by numerous Archaean and Palaeoproterozoic tectonic events. Late phases of Palaeoproterozoic, Svecokarelian deformation created ductile, crustal-scale shear zones, of which the N-S ...

Cooperative Shear Model for the Rheology of Glass-Forming Metallic Liquids [PDF]

, 2006
A rheological law based on the concept of cooperatively sheared flow zones is presented, in which the effective thermodynamic state variable controlling flow is identified to be the isoconfigurational shear modulus of the liquid.
