Effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere is the estimated thickness of the elastic plate to substitute for lithosphere in order to investigate observed...

Lamb waves propagate in solid plates or spheres. They are elastic waves whose particle motion lies in the plane that contains the direction of wave propagation...

normal to the surface of the plate. In terms of displacements, the equilibrium equations for an isotropic, linear elastic plate in the absence of external...

the crack by solving the elasticity problem of a finite crack in an elastic plate. Briefly, the approach was: Compute the potential energy stored in a...

w-{\hat {q}}+\rho w_{tt}=0\,.} In solid mechanics, a plate is often modeled as a two-dimensional elastic body whose potential energy depends on how it is...

such as the bowing of a column under compression or the wrinkling of a plate under shear. If a structure is subjected to a gradually increasing load...

that individual mica crystals can easily be split into extremely thin elastic plates. This characteristic is described as perfect basal cleavage. Mica is...

In geology, the elastic-rebound theory is an explanation for how energy is released during an earthquake. As the Earth's crust deforms, the rocks which...

flexure of the plate depends on: The plate elastic thickness (usually referred to as effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere). The elastic properties...

convergence may be difficult to distinguish given the large elastic response in the upper plate (N Honshu) after the 2011 Tohoku-oki (M9.0) earthquake, and...

in crust density), and the Vening Meinesz elastic plate model (which assumes the crust acts like an elastic sheet). Forward modelling is the process of...

light focusing in a disordered medium. Flexural waves travelling in elastic plates also produce branched flows. Disorder, in this case, appears in the...

Elastic cartilage, fibroelastic cartilage or yellow fibrocartilage is a type of cartilage present in the pinnae (auricles) of the ear giving it shape...

Meinesz, or flexural isostasy model – where the lithosphere acts as an elastic plate and its inherent rigidity distributes local topographic loads over a...

viscoelasticity is the property of materials that exhibit both viscous and elastic characteristics when undergoing deformation. Viscous materials, like water...

first, Westergaard, is based on the assumption that the pavement is an elastic plate supported on a heavy fluid base with a uniform reaction coefficient...
