Surfacic Restoration : flexural slip versus simple shear

Isabelle Moretti and Vincent Delos. ( 2006 )
in: 26th gOcad Meeting, ASGA

Abstract

There are various methods to restore horizon surfaces, as in cross-section balancing, they may correspond to the simple shear deformation mode or to the flexural slip mode. The first one preserves the distances in a given direction, the second one the length and angle on the bedding surface, i.e. the areas. Based on field examples, we will discuss the dilatation and internal strain directions that could be deduced for these restorations and compare them to fracture data sets.
