Mechanisms for the generation of plate tectonics by two-phase grain-damage and pinning (2012, background): “…during deformation, and that subsequent material damage survives for geologically extensive periods even after deformation ceases (Bercovici, 1998; Tackley, 2000c; Bercovici et al., 2001a,b; Auth et al., 2003; Bercovici and Ricard, 2003, 2005; Ricard and Bercovici, 2003, 2009; Landuyt et al.,…”
The effect of rheological parameters on plate behaviour in a self-consistent model of mantle convection (2004, methodology): “Especially convection with a pressure-dependent viscosity has been demonstrated to induce long wavelength flow patterns (e.g. Balachandar et al., 1992; Hansen et al., 1993; Bunge et al., 1997; Tackley, 2000c) which would be suppressed in small aspect ratio domains.”

A free plate surface and weak oceanic crust produce single‐sided subduction on Earth (2012, methodology): “…(Figure 2) are an order of magnitude smaller than laboratory values [Kohlstedt et al., 1995], consistent with previous studies on yielding-induced plate tectonics [Foley and Becker, 2009;Moresi and Solomatov, 1998; Tackley, 2000a, 2000b; Trompert and Hansen, 1998; van Heck and Tackley, 2008].”

Why is terrestrial subduction one-sided? (2008, background): “This type of subduction does not require low strength of the entire lithosphere, as has often been proposed in the past (Tackley, 2000; Trompert and Hansen, 1998; Moresi and Solomatov, 1998; Solomatov, 2004), but instead requires weakening of only the contact region between the two plates as a…”
Organized melt, seismic anisotropy, and plate boundary lubrication (2010, background): “Beginning in the 1990s, studies of global mantle convection have sought to build models in which distinct plates develop self‐ consistently as part of the convective system [e.g., Zhong et al., 1998; Tackley, 2000a, 2000b; Ogawa, 2003; Bercovici, 2003; Bercovici and Ricard, 2005].”
Thermal and magnetic evolution of the Earth’s core (2003, background): “…example the case in the much simplified case of a constant viscosity fluid presented bySotin and Labrosse (1999)and it is even more so in the case of the more complex rheologies like those allowing the development of plate-like flows(Tackley, 2000)and the associated dominance of large scale flow.”
A thermodynamically self-consistent damage equation for grain size evolution during dynamic recrystallization (2011, background): “This provides a memory to the mechanical behaviour of the lithosphere, an ingredient that is missing to the models of convection with selfconsistent plates (i.e. Tackley 2000; Stein et al. 2004).”
