Strain modeling of displacement-field partitioning in transpressional orogens

B Tikoff, C Teyssier - Journal of Structural Geology, 1994‏ - Elsevier
In regions of oblique plate convergence, deformation is generally partitioned into strike-slip
and contractional components. We use a strain model of transpression, based upon a three …
