What assumption do we have to make for the last increment of strain to be representative for earlier strain increments in the zone?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: We have to assume steady-state deformation, where flow parameters are the same throughout the deformation history. If, for example, we have a change from simple shear to subsimple shear the last increment would just reveal the subsimple shear part of the history.
