Software
StereoNett
for Windows, by Johann Duyster. A program for spherical projection
of directional datasets. Click
here
to download your copy or go to the original source at http://homepage.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/Johannes.P.Duyster/stereo/stereo1.htm
where you will find updates and extra information. An alternative
program is Wintek,
which can be downloaded
here. For a basic unzip routine, download pkunzip.exe
or use any version of winzip.
Stereonet for Mac, by Rick Allmendinger. A program for spherical
projection of directional datasets. Go to the original source at
ftp://www.geo.cornell.edu/pub/rwa/Stereonet/
where you will find the latest version of the program and other information.
StressMohr
for Windows, by Ulrich Kruse. This program illustrates the use
of stress calculations for two-dimensional systems. The program consists
of five displays. In each display you can vary the physical situation and
immediately see the effects in the graphical displays. The first display
illustrates the relation between forces and stresses acting on a rectangular
solid. In the second display, you explore the stress on a plane as you
vary the orientation of the plane and the state of stress in the system.
We illustrate the calculation of the stress on the plane in terms of a
simple matrix multiplication in the third display. You can also observe
the simple geometry of the envelope of the stresses that are produced as
the angle of the plane is varied. The fourth display shows the behavior
of the normal and shear components of the stress on the plane. When the
normal component is plotted along x and the shear component along y, the
envelope will be a circle: called a Mohr circle. This beautiful result
lets you visualize the range of possible stresses on the plane. Finally
in the last display, you can explore the conditions which lead to the fracture
of a sample: you can vary the stresses until the stresses are just strong
enough to cause fracture by watching the changes in size and location of
the Mohr circle.

Strain
Calculator (0<Wk<1) for W95, by Rod
Holcombe.
Strain Calculator presents strain data and calculations graphically and
numerically. Conversions of strain ratios to stretches at a given volume
change can be plotted directly onto a logarithmic strain plot (see screen
shot). Shear zone parameters (ellipticity, deformed and undeformed orientations,
etc.) for any shear strain value or vorticity number (Wk) are
calculated and shown graphically. Please note use restrictions.
AnimationsThe files represent a variety of formats, from animated GIFs to .mov.
