Viscoelastic finite-element models of the earthquake cycle along plate-boundary faults
In this thesis I describe three related projects on the mechanics of plate bounding faults and fault systems. All of the projects involve viscoelastic earthquake cycle modeling, using the finite element method, and investigating how surface deformation is affected by viscoelastic relaxation or visco...
