Characterization of Viscous Dissipative Heating in the Earth's Mantle Caused by Surface Forces

Abstract Viscous dissipative heating has long been discussed as a heat source in solid celestial bodies experiencing exogenic forces such as tidal forcing or surface loading. We examine the characteristics of viscous dissipative heating in a Newtonian, Maxwell viscoelastic solid in a 2D Cartesian bo...
