A Pinching Strategy for Fabrics Using Wiping Deformation

Kinematics of Transpressional Deformation Zones in the Urmia Fault Zone, Northwest Iran

Metamorphic and various intrusive rocks in the Urmia area are located in a transpressed active continental margin. These complexes in the Zagros orogen were deformed during an oblique convergence scenario between the Arabian and Sanandaj–Sirjan blocks in NW Iran. The Urmia area contains both NW-SE striking dextral strike-slip and SW verging NE dipping ductile reverse shear fabrics. Ductile shea...

Kinematic evidence for cordierite porphyroblast growth in a contact aureole during progressive deformation; Shah-Kuh granitoid, NE Lut Block, Iran

The Shah-Kuh granitoid has intruded in the Triassic–Jurassic, pelitic and psammitic low-grade metamorphic rocks of the NE LutBlock, in Central Iran. Cordierite porphyroblasts are common in the southern pelitic sediments, but are rare in the northern psammiticrocks, in the contact aureole. Deformation fabrics in the contact aureole are well-preserved within the cordierite porphyroblasts. Therela...

Shearing Properties of the Skewed Woven Fabrics (RESEARCH NOTE)

Tessellation and Lyubich-Minsky laminations associated with quadratic maps I: Pinching semiconjugacies

We introduce tessellation of the filled Julia sets for hyperbolic and parabolic quadratic maps. Then the dynamics inside their Julia sets are organized by tiles which work like external rays outside. We also construct continuous families of pinching semiconjugacies associated with hyperblic-to-parabolic degenerations without using quasiconformal deformation. Instead we use tessellation and inve...

Simulate the Dynamic Draping Behavior of Woven and Knitted Fabrics

In this article a practical mass-spring system was developed to simulate the draping of woven and knitted fabrics. The material properties important to fabric drape, including aerial density, tensile, shear, and bending properties were measured using the Kawabata Evaluation System and the experimental data were incorporated into the mass-spring model to simulate the dynamic draping behavior of ...
