Folds are spectacular geological structures that are seen in layered rock on many different
scales. To mark 30 years of the Journal of Structural Geology, we review the information that …

The shortening and extension of mechanically layered ductile rock generates folds and
pinch-and-swell structures (also referred to as necks or continuous boudins), which result …

Thin‐skinned fold‐and‐thrust belts related to convergence tectonics develop by scra** off
a rock sequence along a weaker basal décollement often formed by water‐saturated shale …

Severe plastic deformation of solids is relevant to many materials processing techniques as
well as tribological events such as wear. It results in microstructural refinement, redistribution …

The influence of pyroxene on upper mantle viscosity remains unclear but may occur either
through its difference in strength relative to olivine or through its effect on olivine …

We study high-amplitude folding in layered rocks with two-dimensional numerical
simulations. We employ the finite-element method to model shortening of an incompressible …

The deformation of rocks is a disequilibrium and strongly non-linear phenomenon with a
number of interacting chemical, thermal and microstructural processes operating …

Despite the fact that most fold–thrust belts around the world share many features,
successfully explained by the critical wedge model, the details of their geometric evolution …

Despite the common occurrence of simple shear deformation, laboratory and numerical
simulations of folding have so far been almost exclusively in pure shear. Here we present a …

We use the finite element method to simulate slow viscous (Newtonian) flow in two
dimensions without gravity and to model asymmetric (S-and Z-shaped) and symmetric (M …
