StrainModeler: A Mathematica™-based program for 3D analysis of finite and progressive strain

摘要: Abstract StrainModeler is a program constructed in the Mathematica ™ environment that performs 3D progressive strain calculations for lines and planes undergoing any sequence of homogeneous deformations. The main inputs to system define initial line or plane be deformed deformation applied, including combinations simple shear, pure shear volume change. For lines, output change attitude line, which can represented by graphics plotted an equal-area projection. planes, has several outputs: (i) plane; (ii) magnitudes ratio semi-axes ellipse on (iii) orientation major minor axes (iv) orientations axial folds formed plane, (v) area plane. variation these parameters shown against linear parameter only linked number steps involved deformation, as kind “time” it ellipsoid (e. g.: axis/minor axis ratio). A directions also visualized curve plot. Three applications are presented. In first, with analyzed. second, we explore formation recumbent layers different third, use analyze set located ductile zone Variscan Belt NW Spain.
