A Brittle Constitutive Law for Long‐Term Tectonic Modeling Based on Sub‐Critical Crack Growth

Abstract Adequate representations of brittle deformation (fracturing and faulting) are essential ingredients of long‐term tectonic simulations. Such models commonly rely on Mohr‐Coulomb plasticity coupled with prescribed softening of cohesion and/or friction with accumulated plastic strain. This app...
