Strength of the lithosphere: Constraints imposed by laboratory experiments
TL;DR: The concept of strength envelopes, developed in the 1970s, allowed quantitative predictions of the strength of the lithosphere based on experimentally determined constitutive equations as mentioned in this paper, which can be applied to understand a broad range of topical problems in regional and global tectonics both on the Earth and on other planetary bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress and temperature in the bending lithosphere as constrained by experimental rock mechanics
C. Goetze,Brian Evans +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a limiting yield strength curve, which is primarily a function of temperature, is constructed from data from brittle failure and ductile flow experiments, in order to formulate a more realistic constitutive relation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strength of slightly serpentinized peridotites: Implications for the tectonics of oceanic lithosphere
TL;DR: In this article, the authors deformed cores of peridotite with ∼10%−15% lizardite and chrysotile serpentine to determine the influence of serpentine content on the strength and the style of deformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The temperature variation of hardness of olivine and its implication for polycrystalline yield stress
Brian Evans,C. Goetze +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative review of hardness data and compressive creep measurements obtained under large confining pressures confirms the hypothesis of Rice [1971] that single-crystal hardness measurements, corrected for elastic effects, can be correlated to the fully ductile yielding of a polycrystal by dislocation mechanisms, including dislocation climb and glide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micromechanics of the brittle to plastic transition in Carrara marble
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used optical and transmission electron microscopy to characterize the deformation of Carrara marble at room temperature to varying strains at confining pressures spanning the range in mechanical behavior from brittle to plastic.
