'''Strain partitioning''' is commonly referred to as a [[Deformation (engineering)|deformation]] process in which the total [[Deformation (mechanics)|strain]] experienced on a rock, area, or region, is heterogeneously distributed in-terms of the strain intensity and strain type (i.e. [[Shear (geology)|pure shear]], [[simple shear]], [[dilation (geology)|dilatation]]).<ref name=Jones&Tanner>Jones, Richard; Tanner, P.W.
