Most industrial alloys contain a matrix phase and dispersed second-phase particles. Several
thermomechanical processing (TMP) steps are usually needed to produce a final product …

For quartz-rich tectonites two types of deformation thermometer are currently commonly
employed: 1) The quartz c-axis fabric opening-angle thermometer that provides an estimate …

Microtectonics deals with the interpretation of microstructures, small-scale deformation
structures in rocks that yield abundant information on the history and type of deformation and …

Near the eastern end of the Tonale fault zone, a segment of the Periadriatic fault system in
the Italian Alps, the Adamello intrusion produced a syn-kinematic contact aureole. A …

Using optical and TEM microscopy we have determined that three regimes of dislocation
creep occur in experimentally deformed quartz aggregates, depending on the relative rates …

Foliations in granitoids can form by magmatic flow,'submagmatic flow', high-temperature
solid-state deformation and moderate-to low-temperature solid-state deformation. A review …

Quartz veins in the Eastern Tonale mylonite zone (Italian Alps) were deformed in strike-slip
shear. Due to the synkinematic emplacement of the Adamello Pluton, a temperature gradient …

The rheological properties of rock salt are of fundamental importance in predicting the long-
term evolution of salt-based radioactive waste repositories and strategic storage caverns …

We review recent results concerning the rheology of the lithosphere with special attention to
the following topics: 1) the flexure of the oceanic lithosphere, 2) deformation of the …
