Earth is so far the only planet that exhibits plate tectonics, and along with the right
heliocentric distance and the presence of surface water, plate tectonics is among necessary …

Plastic deformation of olivine at relatively low temperatures (ie, low‐temperature plasticity)
likely controls the strength of the lithospheric mantle in a variety of geodynamic contexts …

The strength of olivine at low temperatures and high stresses in Earth's lithospheric mantle
exerts a critical control on many geodynamic processes, including lithospheric flexure and …

The success of geoenergy applications such as petroleum recovery or geological storage of
CO2 depends on properly addressing the physical coupling between the pore fluid diffusion …

We study the mechanical response and correlated microstructure of axial deformed fine-
grained olivine aggregates as a function of incremental finite strains. Deformation …

The rheological properties of olivine influence large‐scale, long‐term deformation
processes on rocky planets. Studies of the deformation of olivine at low temperatures and …

The yield strength of oceanic lithosphere determines the mode of mantle convection in a
terrestrial planet, and low‐temperature plasticity in olivine aggregates is generally believed …

Weak serpentine minerals affect the mechanical behavior of serpentinized peridotites at
depth, and may play a significant role in deformation localization within subduction zones, at …

Rate‐and state‐friction (RSF) is an empirical framework that describes the complex velocity‐
, time‐, and slip‐dependent phenomena observed during frictional sliding of rocks and …

Dynamic compaction of granular materials is a complex process, wherein the material
response at the continuum scale arises from fracture, comminution, and fragment flow at the …
