Physical Models of Shear Zones: on the Relationship between Material Properties and Shear Zone Geometry

I present physical shear-box experiments investigating the relationship between geometrical properties of shear zones and mechanical properties of deformed rocks. Experimental methodology is also examined critically and new materials for analogue modelling of shear localization are presented. First,...
