Figure 9. Examples of oblique inclined shear restoration. The hanging wall (HW) is deformed by penetrative slip planes, using an inclined shear vector with the shear angle β. (A) Unrestored state, (B) β = 85°, (C) β = 75°, (D) β = 55°. The result obtained in (D) clearly shows a smoother top surface and the smallest 
strain values, where 
is the principal major strain axis and e is the strain value. β = 55° is the best option for restoration in this example. FW = footwall.
