About this document
Rigid and Non-Rigid Body Deformation by RM is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses different types of deformation in structural geology. It describes rigid body deformation processes like translation and rotation, as well as non-rigid body deformation (distortion) which involves changes in shape and volume like dilation and strain. Different types of strain are covered, including coaxial strain which involves changes in length without rotation, and non-coaxial strain where the long axis of the strain ellipse rotates. Methods for quantifying and visualizing strain us
