We have tried to assemble a comprehensive account of such basic techniques as could be the foundation of a practical and theoretical course in the analysis of tectonic structures, stress and strain. Volume 1 covers the principles of deformation, and Volume 2 applies these principles specifically to the analysis of folds and fractures. Key Features * Provides a unique practical introduction to structural geology for students * Uses over 220 clear line figures * Lavishly illustrated throughout with 107 high quality photographs showing features of naturally deformed rocks over a range of scaleaerial photographs, field photographs and photomicrographs * Starts each session with the formulation of a problem and presentation of any essential background or necessary mathematical techniques * Gives graded problems with solutions fully discussed in the text drawing out key features of the methods used * Provides 22 working diagrams for use is problem solving Academic Press, 1983. - 259 pp., ISBN: 0125769210 Качество: средне-плохое (скачано с books.google.com) Классический учебник по структурной геологии Оглавление: Displacement: Changes in Length and Angels The Strain Ellipse Concept: Distortion and Rotation An Introduction to Heterogeneous Strain Displacement Vector Fields and Strain Practical Strain Measurement - Initially Circular and Elliptical Markers - Lines - The Centre to Centre Technique and Strain Partitioning - Angles Orientation Analysis Strain in Three Dimentions - Planar and Linear Fabrics - Review of Methods and Representation of Strain State Progressive Displacement and Progressive Deformation: Principles Measurement of Progressive Deformation - Extension veins - Pressure Shadows Appendix A Strain Parameters Appendix B Strains from Displacement Volume 2 applies the principles of deformation to the analysis of folds and fractures. There are thirteen practical sessions, each providing three hours work. The problems are illustrated with photographs and drawings, and the solutions are discussed. All the sessions are drawn from actual geological examples. A study of the geometric changes that take place during deformation is probably the most important basic necessity for an understanding of deformed rocks and for the interpretation of the geological significance of tectonic structures. CD-ROM contains the programs described v. 3 and listed in the appendices of the sessions.
