Information about the distribution of vorticity number Wn, area
change Af and strain ration Rf along the S-C fabric
is given in (Movie
5). Four pictures were used for analysis of
Movie
5 are separated by time steps of 22 minutes. 100 markers were digitised
for the four pictures. The Rf plots show a dominant value of 1.5
along the S-C' fabric while the surrounding areas were less or not deformed
(Rf value close to 1). With time the gradient to the less deformed
areas becomes steeper, but the more strained areas widen in the shear band (C')
direction. Wn (Movie
6) shows high values around the S-C' fabric,
indicating an approach of a super-simple shear (DePaor
1988)
in several
directions. On the left hand side of the image are domains with negative
Wn. Domains of simple shear (Wn =1) are located
within the S-C' cleavage and a pure shear component (Wn = 0) is
noticeable along the shear band (a). The S-C' fabric is not situated in a
simple shear environment.
