Sci China Earth Sci December (2015) Vol.58 No.12 3 Appendix 4 Progressive homogeneous deformation and deformation localization of kink-bans and shear bands. The solid circles represent nondeformed or extremely low-strained domains. The bulk deformation is accommodated through strain localization, leaving the circled areas nearly strain free. Deformed domains grow through consuming of the nondeformed/low-strained ones. Note that the predicted initial conjugate angle of 90 (2×45) predicted by homogeneous-deformation theory would increase with progressive deformation, whereas that predicted by MEM Criterion remains constant. The evolution of kink and shear band are constructed based on the experimental data of Paterson and Weiss (1966) and Gomez-Rivas and Griera (2012).
