Software of Ramp-related folds " forward " modeling
Currently the following modes of folding are simulated:
*** Fault-bend folding: the fracture preexists to folding (Suppe 1983); there are 2 modes, but only the first seems geologically realistic.
*** Fault-propagation folding: foldind and fracturing are synchronous (Suppe 1985, Jamison1987). Late-stage evolutions are possible (Mercier et al.;1997)
*** Chester & Chester folding: (generalized Fault-propagation folding) a combination of the two precedents (Chester & Chester 1990).
key words: structural geology, tectonics, ramp, fold, fault, forward modelling
