TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated the bulge size and grainsizes of quartz at approximately the initiation and the completion stages of bulging recrystallization across the upper boundary of a 500m thick mylonite zone above the Vincent fault in the San Gabriel Mountains, southern California.

Estimation of deformation temperatures, flow stresses and strain rates from an intra-continental shear zone: The Main Boundary Thrust, NW Himalaya (Uttarakhand, India)

TL;DR: In this paper, thermal and tectonic data from the mylonitized rocks of the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) were generated from the Siwalik range and the Lesser Himalaya, respectively.

Rates of Dynamic Recrystallization in Geologic Materials

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined DRX rates using the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov theory for phase transformation kinetics using a compilation of published and newly derived DRX data from experimental studies on a wide range of geologic and engineering materials.

Using quartz fabric intensity parameters to delineate strain patterns across the Himalayan Main Central thrust

TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach for delineating the spatial extents of shear zones using quartz petrofabric, temperature, and kinematic data collected from two transects across the Main Central thrust (MCT) in western Bhutan was explored.

The eastern Tonale fault zone: a ‘natural laboratory’ for crystal plastic deformation of quartz over a temperature range from 250 to 700 °C

TL;DR: In this paper, a temperature gradient from ∼250 to ∼700°C was determined across the Tonale fault zone using critical syn-kinematic mineral assemblages from the metasedimentary host rocks surrounding deformed quartz veins.

Dislocation creep regimes in quartz aggregates

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used optical and TEM microscopy to identify three regimes of dislocation creep in experimentally deformed quartz aggregates, depending on the relative rates of grain boundary migration, dislocation climb and dislocation production.

Theory and Applicability of a Recrystallized Grain Size Paleopiezometer

TL;DR: In this paper, an approximate theoretical relation is derived which relates stress during steady state creep to both subgrain size and dynamically recrystallized grain size, based on equating the dislocation strain energy in the grain boundary to that in the enclosed volume.

Dynamic recrystallization of feldspar: A mechanism for ductile shear zone formation

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that recrystallization-accommodated dislocation creep may be responsible for the grain-size reduction and strain softening that lead to the formation of many mylonites and ductile shear zones.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Recrystallization Process in Some Polycrystalline Metals

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory based on the known form of the recrystallization kinetics without necessarily introducing any anisotropy of grain boundary mobility is proposed, which is identical to the activation energy for grain boundary migration.
