在过去的十七年中,John G.Ramsay的第一部著作《岩石的褶皱作用和断裂作用》是探求地质应力和成变的经典文献。大部分的应变研究均以这部书中所论述的概念为依据。 Ramsay和Huber的这部新著则从与前稍异的角度来讨论这个课题。前一著作几乎全是纯理论的,只附有几个参考实例。而这部新作一开始就引述实例。从第一章以精心设计的卡片式模型论述应变开始,至最后一章递进变形,都侧重于应变测量的实例。 For the past seventeen years, John G. Ramsay’s first book, “Folds and Fractures of Rocks,” is a classic reference for geological stress and transformation. Most of the contingency studies are based on the concepts discussed in this book. This new book by Ramsay and Huber discusses the subject from a slightly different perspective. The previous work is almost entirely purely theoretical, with only a few reference examples. And this new work cites an example from the beginning. From the first chapter, the well-designed card-type model discusses the beginning of strain to the last chapter of progressive deformation, all focusing on strain measurement examples.
