DOI: 10.1007/s10064-017-1024-5
Abstract: Discontinuities formed by different geological processes strongly affect the inhomogeneity of a rock mass. Demarcation of statistically homogeneous regions is useful to speculate the tectonic evolution history. Therefore, a new method is introduced to divide… read more here.
