    Kink bands are structures common in the deformation of solids with a well-developed and mechanically effective planar foliation. In such a foliated solid a kink band is a thin band or plate (i.e., a zone in three dimensions), transverse to the foliation, bounded by the parallel or subparallel axial surfaces of a pair of angular folds of opposite sense (Fig) These angular folds are termed kinks and their axial surfaces, kink planes or kink surfaces.
