Journal ArticleDOI
Fitting an ellipse to an arbitrary shape: implications for strain analysis
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the best-fit ellipse also behaves as if it were deforming passively, which implies that all techniques of strain analysis that were previously restricted to populations of elliptical objects may now be applied to populations with arbitrary shapes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of Delaunay triangulation to the nearest neighbour method of strain analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the Delaunay triangulation is used to determine the best fit ellipse of a centred ellipsoid using a steepest gradient non-linear least squares algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the viscosity and Prandtl number of the Tso Morari crystalline gneiss dome, Indian western Himalaya
TL;DR: The Tso Morari crystalline (TMC) gneiss dome in the Indian Himalaya extruded from a depth of 120 km through an inclined subduction channel of sub-elliptical cross-section at the leading edge of the Indian plate as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finite strain estimation using the mean radial length of elliptical objects with bootstrap confidence intervals
TL;DR: In this article, a new method for calculating finite sectional strain from distributions of elliptical objects is presented, which is based on the conceptually simple fact that the mean radial length of a set of uniformly oriented ellipses in the unstrained state equates to that of a circle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viscous dissipation pattern in incompressible Newtonian simple shear zones: an analytical model
TL;DR: An analytical model of shear heating in an inclined simple shear zone with Newtonian rheology under a reverse shear sense and an upward resultant pressure gradient is presented in this paper.
