Slab stiffness control of trench motion: Insights from numerical models (2008, unknown): “, 2006] and laboratory models [Funiciello et al., 2003b; Bellahsen et al., 2005; Faccenna et al., 2007] show that the slab strength play a key role in controlling subduction velocity and its partitioning between trench and plate motion.”
Kinematics and flow patterns in deep mantle and upper mantle subduction models: Influence of the mantle depth and slab to mantle viscosity ratio (2008, methodology): “Thus the viscosity ratios adopted in several previous modeling studies [e.g., Funiciello et al., 2004, 2006; Bellahsen et al., 2005] are potentially 1 to 3 orders of magnitude too high.”
Dynamic models of downgoing plate-buoyancy driven subduction: subduction motions and energy dissipation (2007, background): “1C) (also e.g., Kincaid and Olson, 1987; Schellart, 2004a; Bellahsen et al., 2005; Enns et al., 2005).”
Trench migration, net rotation and slab-mantle coupling (2008, methodology): “All the models show the typical sequence of three phases, as extensively described in Funiciello et al. (2003) and Bellahsen et al. (2005): (phase 1) progressive acceleration of the slab during its sinking into the mantle, (phase 2) transient slab/660 km discontinuity interaction, and (phase 3)…”
