On nonlinear strain theory for a viscoelastic material model and its implications for calving of ice shelves
In the current ice-sheet models calving of ice shelves is based on phenomenological approaches. To obtain physics-based calving criteria, a viscoelastic Maxwell model is required accounting for short-term elastic and long-term viscous deformation. On timescales of months to years between calving eve...
