Theoretical models of thermo-mechanical ductile shear zone deformation in rocks
Thesis
Theoretical models of thermo-mechanical ductile shear zone deformation in rocks. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416844

Thermo-mechanical models of ductile shear zones have been constructed for both viscous and viscoelastic materials. The viscous model has been applied to both shear zones and ductile thrusts for constant velocity and constant shear stress boundary con...

Rheological, thermal and isostatic constraints on continental lithosphere extension and compression
Thesis
Egan, S. Rheological, thermal and isostatic constraints on continental lithosphere extension and compression. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/417357

Deep seismic reflection data has shown the importance of low angle faults and detachments in continental extensional tectonics. A quantitative model of continental lithosphere extension is presented, incorporating geometric, thermal and isostatic com...
