Strain analysis using calcite shape fabric and CPO (measured by EBSD) reveals that non-coaxial strain concentrating at the edges propagates towards the middle of the specimen, where flattening strain is predominant. Strain-hardening associated with flattening prevents initially non-coaxial strain from developing in the centre. Direct shear testing proves to be a good analogue for transpression when free boundaries are present to allow lateral extrusion.}, number={29}, journal={Trabajos de Geología}, author={Llana-Fúnez, S. and Rutter, E.
