Elasticity

Elasticity is, in geodynamics, often used in combination with viscous and plastic rheology.

Implemented laws

We provide the following elastic constitutive relationships:

GeoParams.MaterialParameters.ConstitutiveRelationships.ConstantElasticity — Type

ConstantElasticity(G, ν, K, E)

Structure that holds parameters for constant, isotropic, linear elasticity.

GeoParams.MaterialParameters.ConstitutiveRelationships.SetConstantElasticity — Function

SetConstantElasticity(; G=nothing, ν=nothing, E=nothing, Kb=nothing)

This allows setting elastic parameters by specifying 2 out of the 4 elastic parameters G (Elastic shear modulus), ν (Poisson's ratio), E (Young's modulus), or Kb (bulk modulus).
