Brittle Deformation of Damaged Mafic and Ultramafic Rocks and Their Implications on Plate Bending

Abstract The effect of damage on the brittle deformation of mafic and ultramafic rocks has been investigated by performing triaxial deformation experiments on thermally cracked and intact rock samples. The investigation was performed by recording the axial and lateral strains during deformation whil...
