  1. 1. Numerical modelling of deformation within accretionary prisms

    University essay from Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Ting Zhang; [2012]
    Keywords : Discrete Element Method; accretionary wedge; basal friction; compression force; area loss; displacement;

    Abstract : A two dimensional continuous numerical model based on Discrete Element Method is used to investigate the behaviour of accretionary wedges with different basal frictions. The models are based on elastic-plastic, brittle material and computational granular dynamics, and several characteristics of the influence of the basal friction are analysed. READ MORE
