Numerical analysis of deformation in the upper part of subduction zones

The stresses and deformation in an accretionary prism, and the crystalline basement behind and beneath it, have been modelled using finite element analysis, assuming a visco-elastic Maxwell rheology for the rocks involved. A new method for finding the effect of lateral variations in density and body...
