Kink bands are pervasive structures developed in foliated                  rocks deformed at mid to upper crustal levels, and hold the                     potential to provide determination of finite strain and principal               stress orientation for the episode of deformation that produced                 them.  This project will investigate the mechanics of kink band                 formation in foliated rocks by the integration of theoretical                   modeling, detailed observation of naturally-occurring kink bands,               and experimentation.  By relating the orientation and geometry of               kink bands to the mechanical response of an anisotropic medium                  under states of stress, this work should provide a strong basis                 for the mechanical interpretation of kink bands as a tool in                    regional tectonic studies.
