| Popis: | Deformation in the lithosphere-asthenosphere system can be accommodated by faulting and plastic flow. However, incorporating structural data in models of distributed deformation still represents a challenge. Here, I present solutions for the displacements and stress in a half-space caused by distributed anelastic strain confined in a tetrahedral volume. These solutions form the basis of curvilinear meshes that can adapt to realistic structural settings, such as a mantle wedge corner, a spherical shell around a magma chamber, or an aquifer. I provide computer programs to evaluate them in the cases of anti-plane strain, in-plane strain, and three-dimensional deformation. These tools may prove useful in the modeling of deformation data in tectonics, volcanology, and hydrology. Comment: 54 pages, 14 figures |
