The analysis of Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) is a powerful and rapid technique to examine the preferred orientations of mineral (magnetic) fabrics and can indicate the nature of a magma transport (vertical or lateral). The relationship between magnetic fabric and geometry of a dyke swarm enables us to understand magma emplacement processes. Depending on the mutual relationship of...

bouin- miandasht granitoid pluton (bmgp), which outcropped to the north of bouin-miandasht- aligoudarz road, was emplaced into low to medium grade of triassic to early jurassic metapelitic rocks of sanandaj-sirjan structural zone. in this study we do provide the first investigations of bmgp by means of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (ams). most km values for the main felsic compositions ...

The influence of magnetic interactions on the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) have been largely studied by several theoretical models or experiments. Numerical models have shown that when magnetostatic interactions occur, the distributions of particles over the volume rather than their individual orientations control the AMS. We have shown recently from a comprehensive rock magnetic...

The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) of late Cretaceous ash-flow tuffs in Chisulryoung Volcanic Formation, southeastern Korea was studied to define the primary pyroclastic flow azimuth. AMS data revealed a dominant oblate fabric with a tight clustering of k3 (minimum axis of magnetic susceptibility) and shallow dispersal of k1 (maximum axis of magnetic susceptibility) and k2 (interme...

The magnetic susceptibility measured in an alternating field is made up of in-phase and out-of-phase components. Anisotropy Magnetic Susceptibility (ipAMS) measures the bulk response all minerals a sample; however, AMS (opAMS) sensitive to only select ferromagnetic such as hematite, titanomagnetite, ultrafine magnetite. opAMS can be harnessed tool for direct determination subfabrics defined by ...

Magnetic lineation in rocks is given by a cluster of the principal axes of maximum susceptibility (Kmax) of the Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) tensor. In deformed rocks, magnetic lineations are generally considered to be the result of either bedding and cleavage intersection or they parallel the tectonic extension direction in high strain zones. Our AMS determinations, based on a v...

The potential for structural failure of consolidated clay materials, which is of great importance in many applications, typically are assessed by measuring the localized strain bands that develop under anisotropic load stress. Most methods are precluded from providing a full understanding of the strain anisotropy because they only give two-dimensional information about the stressed clay blocks....
