Classification of Refold Structures

Structural geology textbooks distinguish among four end members of three‐dimensional refold structures established from their two‐dimensional interference patterns. Here it is shown that six different end members of three‐dimensional refold structures exist. These end members can be described by a r...

Zusammenfassung:Structural geology textbooks distinguish among four end members of three‐dimensional refold structures established from their two‐dimensional interference patterns. Here it is shown that six different end members of three‐dimensional refold structures exist. These end members can be described by a reduced direction cosines matrix \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage[OT2,OT1]{fontenc} \newcommand\cyr{ \renewcommand\rmdefault{wncyr} \renewcommand\sfdefault{wncyss} \renewcommand\encodingdefault{OT2} \normalfont \selectfont} \DeclareTextFontCommand{\textcyr}{\cyr} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document} \landscape $\mathbf{L}^{\mathbf{*}}$ \end{document} . The classical types 1–3 are extended to have three new counterparts types 01–03, which are derived by 90° rotation of the superposed fold around its fold axis.
