Abstract

A simple and direct method of calculating the post-buckle flattening strain of folds is proposed. Assuming that the folds have Class 1B (parallel) shape before flattening, the stretch of the layer at any position in the flattened fold is inversely proportional to the orthogonal thickness of the layer. A polar graph showing inverse thickness as a function of layer orientation therefore yields directly the shape and orientation of the flattening strain ellipse. The method can be applied to cases where flattening strains have been imposed obliquely to the fold's axial surface.
