For quartz-rich tectonites two types of deformation thermometer are currently commonly
employed: 1) The quartz c-axis fabric opening-angle thermometer that provides an estimate …

Pressure profoundly alters all states of matter. The symbiotic development of ultrahigh-
pressure diamond anvil cells, to compress samples to sustainable multi-megabar pressures; …

55 4.4 Experimental techniques 57 4.5 Some general trends in elasticity: Birch's law 59 4.6 …

We present a formulation to compute the local response of elastic and viscoplastic
anisotropic 3D polycrystals based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm. This …

This book describes behavior of crystalline solids primarily via methods of modern
continuum mechanics. Emphasis is given to geometrically nonlinear descriptions, ie, finite …

A large number of polycrystalline materials, both manmade and natural, display preferred
orientation of crystallites. Such alignment has a profound effect on anisotropy of physical …

We present a detailed description of the numerical implementation, within the widely used
viscoplastic self-consistent (VPSC) code, of a rigorous second-order (SO) homogenization …

Anisotropy of upper mantle physical properties results from lattice preferred orientation
(LPO) of upper mantle minerals, in particular olivine. We use an anisotropic viscoplastic self …

This paper reviews the current state of the art in the simulation of the mechanical behavior of
polycrystalline materials by means of computational homogenization. The key ingredients of …

The anisotropic single crystal seismic properties are reviewed in the light of recent
experimental and theoretical determinations. Although considerable progress has been …
