The development of orogenic plateaus : Plateaus: case studies examining relationships between tectonics, crustal strength, surface deformation, and plateau morphology
… addresses processes associated with the uplift, deformation, and erosion of orogenic plateaus. The timing and mechanisms of uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and the Altiplano are the subject of ongoing debate. Central issues include the strength of the lower crust and the role of lower crustal flow, …

Adaptive finite element simulation of fracture: from plastic deformation to crack propagation
… machinery by designing it to sustain very large deformation at high temperatures, or prepare evacuation procedures for populated areas in high seismic zones in the event of rupture in the earth's crust. In order to achieve a better understanding of how any of these structures fail, experimental, …

Volcanic deformation as an indicator of mechanical stability and eruption susceptibility
Caldera-forming eruptions are amongst the greatest natural hazards on our planet, erupting hundreds of cubic kilometers of material with severe local and global impacts that pose great risks to human health and society at large. Understanding how these systems form and what triggers their …

Mechanistic-Empirical Modeling of Permanent Deformation in Asphalt Concrete Layers
Three mechanistic-empirical permanent deformation models were evaluated under Swedish conditions with respect to traffic, climate and materials using accelerated pavement testing and long-term pavement performance studies. The mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (M E PDG), the …
