What Is Structural Kinesiology?
Structural kinematics is an important branch of structural geology that explains or inverts the movement state and process of geological bodies during structural deformation and displacement based on the analysis data of structural geometry. The motion state of deformed geological bodies can be decomposed into two parts: external motion (direct translation and rotation of rigid body relative to external coordinate reference system) and internal motion (deformation and volume change caused by relative displacement of particles relative to internal coordinate reference system) . The specific geometrical characteristics of rock deformation often depend on the combination of motion elements such as translation, rotation, volume deformation, and deformation that occur during deformation.

- Structural kinematics is an important branch of structural geology that explains or inverts the movement state and process of geological bodies during structural deformation and displacement based on the analysis data of structural geometry. The motion state of deformed geological bodies can be decomposed into two parts: external motion (direct translation and rotation of rigid body relative to external coordinate reference system) and internal motion (deformation and volume change caused by relative displacement of particles relative to internal coordinate reference system) . The specific geometrical characteristics of rock deformation often depend on the combination of motion elements such as translation, rotation, volume deformation, and deformation that occur during deformation.
- The kinematics analysis should be a multi-scale system analysis, because the rigid body translation and rotation observed on a certain scale can be part of the volume or deformation of the geological body on the larger scale. In modern tectonic analysis, strain analysis is an important method, which can quantitatively evaluate the changes in the original size and shape of geological landmarks or geological bodies after deformation.
