褶皱构造模拟实验及理论研究的历程和发展趋向初探

FOLD MODELLING AND THEORETICAL STUDIES OF FOLDING

简要介绍了褶皱构造模拟实验和理论研究在50~80年代取得的主要成果,重点说明了该项研究在50年代末至60年代末取得的巨大成果,及70年代初由于褶皱物理模拟和数学模拟的迅速发展和相互配合以及仪器的更新所取得的成绩,指出褶皱理论存在的关键问题是在野外和室内都应用不广。最后探讨了这一研究的5个发展趋向。

This paper discusses the development of fold modelling technique and the theoretical research of folding. At the beginning of 20th century, geologists began to lay stress on fold modelling and equipment and means renewed. From the end of 1960s to the end of 1980s, as fold physical model and mathematical model developed fastly and concerted each other, equipment was further renewed, great progress was made. However, there are some problems in the theory and techniques. A key problem of them is that, how to apply the theory and technique to the practice.
