Mechanisms and Mechanics of Shear Band Sets

The localization of individual shear bands is discussed under 'Mechanisms and Mechanics of Deformation Bands.' Aside from this particular localization character, the formation of shear band sets is closely related to the formation of fault sets because the dominant displacement discontinuity is of shear type. The readers may notice that shear band patterns closely resemble fault patterns with similar kinematics.
