This stress and strain concentration in regions remote from the main orogenic front is commonly related to theKeywords: finite element method; fold and thrust belt; numerical model; passive margin; strain partitioning; stress; tectonic evolution; Belgium; Germany Finite element analysis; Fold and thrust belts; Numerical models; One-dimensional models; Rhenohercynian; Strain; TectonicsModels of passive margin inversion: implications for the Rhenohercynian fold-and-thrust belt, Belgium and Germany200210.1016/S0012-821X(02)00751-32015-12-12
