Folding of Viscous Layers - Mechanical Analysis and Interpretation of Structures in Deformed Rock

-- Geoscientist

About the author

Arvid M. Johnson and Raymond C. Fletcher

Summary

Applying the principles and practice of solid mechanics to the forms of fold structures and their mode of origin, this monograph shows how many quantitative results can be derived from elementary analysis. These results are then used to interpret structural features and their formation.
