| Description | Since the deformation origin of calcite twin lamellae (e-twins) and their crystallographic laws have been determined in the end of the 19th century, it was recognized as the main deformation mechanism of calcite polycrystalline aggregates at low temperatures, low confining pressures and low finite strains (8%; e.g. Turner, 1963; DeBresser, Spiers, 1996). The e-plane will twin if, and only if the shear stress CRSS exceeds the critical value 10 MPa, which is believed to be independent of normal stress, temperature and strain rate (e.g. Laurent et al., 1981). This is one of basic assumptions of the Etchecopar inverse method modified by French authors Laurent, Lacombe et al. (e.g. Lacombe, Laurent, 1996). It is based on applying numerous (500-1000) randomly generated reduced stress tensors and then selecting the best-fit tensor using a penalisation function. |
