Factors Affecting Transpression Folding as Inferred From Numerical Analysis

Factors Affecting Transpression Folding as Inferred From Numerical Analysis

Three-dimensional folding behavior of an elasto-viscous layer induced by transpression, and biaxial compression on the boundary is studied. The factors studied include the strain rate, elastic competency contrast, and viscous competency contrast. It was found that the influence of elastic competency...
