Journal ArticleDOI
Limits on lithospheric stress imposed by laboratory experiments
W. F. Brace,David L. Kohlstedt +1 more
TL;DR: Byerlee's law, converted to maximum or minimum stress, is a good upper or lower bound to observed in situ stresses to 5 km, for pore pressure hydrostatic or subhydrostatic as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
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
Water in the oceanic upper mantle: implications for rheology, melt extraction and the evolution of the lithosphere
Greg Hirth,David L. Kohlstedt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of water on the dynamics of the oceanic upper mantle is re-evaluated based on recent experimental constraints on the solubility of water in mantle minerals and earlier experimental studies of olivine rheology.
Book ChapterDOI
Rheology of the Upper Mantle and the Mantle Wedge: A View from the Experimentalists
Greg Hirth,David L. Kohlstedt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a critical review of flow law parameters for olivine aggregates and single crystals deformed in the diffusion creep and dislocation creep regimes under both wet and dry conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solubility of water in the α, β and γ phases of (Mg,Fe)2SiO4
TL;DR: In this paper, the solubility of hydroxyl in the α, β and γ phases of (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 was investigated by hydrothermally annealing single crystals of San Carlos olivine.
