vertical and inclined, at the centimeter scale, chevron folds

vertical and inclined, at the centimeter scale, chevron folds

Pequeños pliegues chevrón, a la escala de centímetros que también se llaman pliegues en zig-zag, muy cerrados. Sus ejes normalmente están verticales, pero hay algunos inclinados también (los he visto)

Chevron folds are symmetric folds with completely straight limbs and very tight fold hinges.

Por cierto: este tipo de pliegues son el resultado de deformación dúctil (mecánica-plástica). Podrás notar, en la referencia, que el título dice: ductile deformation, folds and fabrics
