By using a viscoplastic rheology, we aim to generalise Newtonian models that capture the effective viscous behaviour of rock at large length scales. The model system is characterised by the ...

Rheology is a branch of physics concerned with the study of the flow and change of shape of soft materials, which when deformed usually exhibit a combination of elastic, viscous and plastic ...

THE word ‘rheology’ was coined in the United States in 1929 to denote the science of the deformation and flow of matter. Though the name is new, the science itself is old, and man has had a ...
