TLDR
In this article, the authors show that elasticity is an important regulator of the long-term geological strength of the lithosphere, and they show that the Helmholtz free energy converges for all models within a 25% range while the dissipated energy varies over an order of magnitude.About:

Characterization of Carbopol® hydrogel rheology for experimental tectonics and geodynamics
E. Di Giuseppe,Fabio Corbi,Francesca Funiciello,A Massmeyer,A Massmeyer,Tn Santimano,Matthias Rosenau,Anne Davaille +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a systematical rheological characterization of a wide range of Carbopol® formulas as a function of concentration, composition, pH, temperature and aging, concluding that low concentration samples, i.e. n ranging between 1.6 and 3.4 are good candidates to mimic the nonlinear ductile behavior of crustal rocks.

Small quantity but large effect — How minor phases control strain localization in upper mantle shear zones
TL;DR: In this article, microstructural studies based on natural samples from three shear zones formed at different geodynamic settings allowed the derivation of the olivine grain-size dependence on the second-phase content.

Interaction between mantle and crustal detachments: A non-linear system controlling lithospheric extension
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of crustal and mantle detachment faults during lithospheric extension is investigated using numerical modeling. But the authors only simulate a wide range of rift systems with varying values of the crustal thickness and heat flow, showing how strain localization in the mantle interacts with local deformation in the upper crust.

Thermomechanics of an extensional shear zone, Raft River metamorphic core complex, NW Utah
TL;DR: A detailed structural and microstructural analysis of the Miocene Raft River detachment shear zone (NW Utah) provides insight into the thermomechanical evolution of the continental crust during extension associated with the exhumation of metamorphic core complexes as mentioned in this paper.

The role of elasticity in slab bending
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of elasticity in slab bending was investigated using fully dynamic 2D models where an elastic, viscoelastic, or visco-elastoplastic plate subducts freely into a purely viscous mantle.

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.

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
Time, structure, and fluctuations.
TL;DR: It is shown that nonequilibrium may become a source of order and that irreversible processes may lead to a new type of dynamic states of matter called "dissipative structures" and the thermodynamic theory of such structures is outlined.

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.

Maximum entropy production principle in physics, chemistry and biology
TL;DR: The maximum entropy production principle (MEPP) as discussed by the authors was proposed to maximize the entropy production during nonequilibrium processes, and it has been applied in a wide range of applications.
