Shear strain concentration mechanism in the lower crust below an intraplate strike-slip fault based on rheological laws of rocks
Abstract We conduct a two-dimensional numerical experiment on the lower crust under an intraplate strike-slip fault based on laboratory-derived power-law rheologies considering the effects of grain size and water. To understand the effects of far-field loading and material properties on the deformat...
