Constitutive Behavior of Olivine Gouge Across the Brittle‐Ductile Transition

Abstract The bottom of the lithosphere is characterized by a thermally controlled transition from brittle to ductile deformation. While the mechanical behavior of rocks firmly within the brittle and ductile regimes is relatively well understood, how the transition operates remains elusive. Here, we...
