BOUDINAGE, INTERNAL EXTENSIONAL

Model Experiments by Ghosh. Top shows development of boudinage in anisotropic medium which is symmetrical because initial perturbations had an orientation normal to laminae. Note the development of two distinct zones of extensional single kink bands with negative dilation.

The lower figure shows asymmetrical boudinage together with single kink-bands negative dilational with one set better developed
