- Abstract:
- Folds in mountain ranges like the Zagros of Iran occur in packets many tens of wavelengths long and a few wavelengths wide. It is proposed to use numerical models to study the three dimensional development of folds in which discreet coherent packets consisting of a few wavelengths in profile nucleate out of random perturbations by interaction in the axis parallel direction. The mechanics of propagation along the axis and interaction with other packets will be investigated. The understanding gained will be applied to the mechanics of regional fold belts and fracturing in competent rock units.
