Deformation of an elastic crust

The crust is modelled as an elastic body, which is subjected to a vertical load. The resulting deformation is analyzed. Finally, an attempt is made to use the result to determine the time scale for isostatic adjustments for Hudson's Bay ice sheet load. Journal of the Nigerian Association of Mat...

Summary:The crust is modelled as an elastic body, which is subjected to a vertical load. The resulting deformation is analyzed. Finally, an attempt is made to use the result to determine the time scale for isostatic adjustments for Hudson's Bay ice sheet load.
