A perturbative solution of the power-law viscoelastic constitutive equation for lithospheric rocks

A power-law, viscoelastic constitutive equation for lithospheric rocks, is considered. The equation is a nonlinear generalization of the Maxwell constitutive equation, in which the viscous deformation depends on the n-th power of deviatoric stress, and describes a medium which is elastic with respec...
