The flow of glaciers and ice-sheets as a problem in plasticity
A calculation is made of the distribution of stress and velocity in an ideal glacier and in an ideal ice-sheet. The ice is assumed to have a constant yield stress and to obey, like other polycrystalline plastic aggregates, the Levy-Mises equations of flow and either the Mises or the Tresca criterion...
