Strain localisation in mechanically layered rocks beneath detachment zones: insights from numerical modelling
We have designed a series of fully dynamic numerical simulations aimed at assessing how the orientation of mechanical layering in rocks controls the orientation of shear bands and the depth of penetration of strain in the footwall of detachment zones. Two parametric studies are presented. <br>...
