Computational Approaches to Localized Deformation Within the Lithosphere and for Crust-Mantle Interactions

The thesis addresses selected problems related to localized deformation of the solid Earth’s lithosphere that stem from non-uniform strengths or emerge from non-linear rheologies. A new code has been developed to model the spontaneous localization through strain-weakening plasticity. A code coupling...
