Stress Diffusion Along Rupturing Plate Boundaries
An analysis is made of viscoelastic lithosphere/asthenosphere coupling in the time-dependent redistribution of stress along plate boundaries or other seismic lineaments following great earthquakes. The study is based on a generalization by Rice of Elsasser's model of stress-diffusion, i which general elastic plane stress deformations are allowed in lithospheric plates which are coupled in an el...
متن کاملStress Intensity Factor Variation along a Semicircular Surface Flaw in a Finite-thickness Plate
-The stress intensity factor variation along a semicircular surface law in a three dimensional solid @late) of finite thickness is derived. This is done using a nested alternating procedure which employs the complete analytical solution for an arbitrarily loaded circular flaw embedded in an infinite solid. The method accounts for both the front-surface/backsurface as well as the boundary-crack ...
متن کاملModification of the lithospheric stress field by lateral variations in plate-mantle coupling
[1] The presence of deeply penetrating continental roots may locally increase the magnitude of basal shear tractions by up to a factor of 4 compared to a layered viscosity structure. Here we examine how these increases in mantlelithosphere coupling influence stress patterns in the overlying elastic lithosphere. By coupling a mantle flow model to a model for the elastic lithosphere, we show that...
متن کاملHeat Transfer in Three-Dimensional Flow along a Porous Plate
An analysis of heat transfer in the flow of a viscous, in-compressible fluid along an infinite porous plate is presented when the plate is subjected to a transverse sinusoidal suction. The flow field becomes three-dimensional due to this type of suction velocity. Expressions for the flow and temperature fields are obtained by series expansion method. It is found during the course of discussion ...
