The relationship between the proportion of microboudinaged columnar grains and far–field differential stress: A numerical model for analyzing paleodifferential stress
Abstract:Microboudin paleopiezometry is an intensive endeavor that involves measurement of several hundred grains per sample to produce reliable estimations of far-field differential stress. This procedure is particularly time-consuming when conducting stress analysis for a large number of samples within a metamorphic belt. To improve and expedite the stress estimation procedure, we propose a numerical model that uses grain-shape data to calculate the relationship between the proportion of microboudinaged columnar grai… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
