Numerical modelling of the stress regime at subduction zones
The stress regime at subduction zones has been modelled using a visco-elastic, quadratic isoparametric finite element model. An isoparametric model is used because it performs more accurately than constant strain triangular elements (CST) and also allows curved sided elements to be introduced.A meth...
