The Mohr circle is a well-known method for two-dimensional strain analysis. Due to the formation of the boudins during two stages of the progressive deformation (D1 and D4) in cherty marbles, from north Golpaygan metamorphic complex, they have been analyzed for strain in two-dimension. This analysis is based on estimating of the initial length of the boudins before deformation, and measuring the current length of the boudins, after deformation. Calculation of the longitudinal parameters of the strain and drawing Mohr circles show that the strain ratio varies between 1.06 to 2.35 for D1 stage, and between 1.10 to 2.84 for D4 stage. The mean shear angle for the D1 stage is 22 ° and for the D4 stage is 24 °.

Modeling of geological structures plays an important role in understanding the geometry of the structures and their relationships. In recent years, digital modeling using computers has attracted the attention of engineers as well as researchers in basic sciences. "MATLAB" is one of the softwares that is used with its extensive facilities for data analysis and modeling in various sciences, including structural geology. In this paper, possible models of interference patterns of the three generations of folds in metamorphic rocks of the Golpayegan area were reconstructed using the script written in MATLAB software. The required data include the attitudes of the mean axis and the mean axial planes of three consecutive generations of folds which were obtained during field measurements. Field studies show that the first and second generation folds are almost coaxial, however the third generation folds have a different axial trend. The results of modeling indicate that four classical fold interference patterns may be formed in horizontal (map view) and vertical sections in Golpayegan metamorphic rocks. Modeled fold interference patterns are closely consistent with the natural fold interference patterns observed in the outcrop and regional scales. Using the modeling, it can be determined that the different interference patterns of the folds in the northern Golpayegan metamorphic rocks are related to superposition of the related fold generations.

The Aderba leucogranite in the Golpayegan metamorphic core complex (GMC)¡ a part of Sanandaj-Sirjan zone¡ host lentiform small (2*4 cm)(Type 1) and large (7*14 cm)(Type 2)tourmaline nodules. In terms of mineralogical features¡ the core of these two types tourmaline nodules is different. The Type 1 composed of small blue-green tourmaline¡ quartz¡ K-feldspar (microcline) and apatite while the Type 2 is characterized by tourmaline coarse crystals accompanied by quartz. Based on major and trace elements data the tourmalines under discussion are classified as alkaline¡ schorl (Type 1) and schorl-dravite (Type 2). The mean REE values displays a negative slope and a negative (Type 1) and positive (Type 2) Eu anomalies. The overall petrographic observations and geochemical results indicate that the Type 1 is likely influenced by two mechanisms of liquid immiscibility in the evolved melt followed by biotite breakdown in the final stages of tourmaline crystallization to complete consumption of B (closed system). For nodules¡ Type 2¡ breakdown of biotite in equilibrium with the external fluid (open system) is proposed.

A NW-SE trending ductile shear zone has been generated in the metamorphic rocks of the southwest Golpaygan. Different pellitic and psammitic schists, meta-carbonates and igneous rocks were strongly deformed in this ductile shear zone and produced mylonites and ultra-mylonites. Structural analysis indicates three stages of foliations in the metamorphic rocks. Geometry and kinematics of the fabrics in Nowgan shear zone are divided into two northeastern and southwestern parts (limbs of Nowqan antiform). Mylonitic foliation moderately to steeply dip towards northeast in the northeastern part but dips to the southwest in the southwestern part. Mineral and stretching lineation, are shallowly to moderately plunging to the east-southeast in the northeastern part of the shear zone and, to the west-northwest in the southwestern part. The microstructural indicators of shear sense cleared that the northeastern part dextrally displaced along strike with normal component and the southwestern part sinisterly displaced with reverse component at the present situation. The fabrics evidence clear that this ductile shear zone were originally right-lateral strike–slip shear zone and during its structural evolution it was rotated around its strike during later folding stage. Structural analysis of the surrounded rocks of the shear zone indicates three superposed foliations. The mylonitic foliation in the shear zone and the axial plane foliations of the second stage folding are sub-parallel. Plunge directions of the second stage folds axes and the mineral/stretching lineation are also sub-parallel. Therefore, the initiation and development of the shear zone were synchronous with the second stage folding event.

The North Esfajerd ductile shear zone is exposed in NE Golpaygan in the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. The shear sense indicators are observed in the both outcrop and microscopic scales in this shear zone. These indicators are representing a NW striking dextral shear. The dynamic analysis and outcrop- scale indicators of extension direction exhibit a NW extension sub-parallel to the dextral shear and a compression perpendicular to it. The relative simultaneity and parallelism between the North Esfajerd ductile shear zone and North Varzaneh thrust shear zone propose the partitioning of strain components in a transpressional deformation. Regarding the geochronologic data and the angular unconformity between the middle Cretaceous and Eocene rock units, the transpressional deformation and its related mylonitization occurred during the Laramide orogeny in late Cretaceous-Paleocene. The gently dipping mylonitic foliations with dextral shear imply an incompatibility between geometry and kinematics in the North Esfajerd ductile shear zone. However, the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the North Esfajerd ductile shear zone are accommodated with lateral extrusion of material in a dextral domain. Parallelism between the trends of dominant stretching lineations and the second generation large scale fold axes document that the major mylonitization in the North Esfajerd shear zone occurred during the second generation deformation. These mylonitic fabrics were folded due to the third generation deformation. Two generations of crenulation cleavages, respectively in relation to two refolding events, can be recognized in this shear zone. One of the refolding events with type III interference patterns (coaxial refolding) occurred during the second stage deformation in the late Cretaceous- Paleocene interval, caused the formation of the North Esfajerd shear zone, and can be observed in an outcrop scale. The other has emerged during the third stage of deformation, probably in the post Paleocene-pre Miocene interval, folded the North Esfajerd shear zone and formed the type II (boomerang shape) interference pattern in a map scale.
