Strain Localization Mechanisms and Damage Zone Microstructures Across the Brittle-Ductile Transition: A Case Study of the Kellyland Fault Zone part of Cutting Edge:Courses:Structural Geology and Tectonics:2022 Structure and Tectonics Forum:Abstracts
This academic abstract page presents a geological case study analyzing strain localization and damage zone microstructures across the brittle-ductile transition in the Kellyland Fault Zone, detailing fault rock assemblages, deformation mechanisms, microfracture densities, pseudotachylyte formation, and flow stress conditions that indicate a shift from seismogenic slip to steady-state grain-size-sensitive creep in ultramylonites.
