Evolving force balance during incipient subduction (2004, background): “For a series of models we have allowed both the internal friction and cohesion of the brittle layer to linearly decrease with increasing plastic strain (equations (2) and (3)), following [Lavier et al., 2000].”
Three-dimensional thermomechanical modeling of oceanic spreading initiation and evolution (2013, unknown): “Given that spontaneously forming brittle/plastic faults are localized within one to two grid cells (e.g., Buiter et al., 2006), both strain weakening limit c0 and healing rate _ehealing should linearly scale with the grid step (e.g., Lavier et al., 2000).”
The seismic cycle at subduction thrusts: Insights from seismo‐thermo‐mechanical models (2013, background): “This grid size-dependent scheme cancels the change of strain rate with grid size and introduces a length scale into the inherent grid size-dependent plasticity problem [e.g., Needleman, 1988; Lavier et al., 2000; van Dinther et al., 2013].”
