PLASTIC DEFORMATION OF MINERALS AND ROCKS REV...

Volume 51 of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry highlights some of the frontiers in the
study of plastic deformation of minerals and rocks. This book reviews large-strain shear
deformation and deformation experiments under ultrahigh pressures  the issues of deformation of
crustal rocks and the upper mantle  the interplay of partial melting and deformation  the new
results of ultrahigh pressure deformation of deep mantle minerals  the stability of deformation
under deep mantle conditions with special reference to phase transformations and their
relationship to the origin of intermediate depth and deep-focus earthquakes  a detailed
description of fracture mechanisms of ice  of experimental and theoretical studies on seismic
wave attenuation  the relationship between crystal preferred orientation and macroscopic
anisotropy  recent progress in poly-crystal plasticity to model the development of anisotropic
fabrics both at the microscopic and macroscopic scale  a thorough review of seismic anisotropy
of the upper mantle covering the vast regions of geodynamic interests and the theoretical
aspects of shear localization. All chapters contain extensive reference lists to guide readers
to the more specialized literature. This volume was written for a workshop  in December 2002 in
Emeryville  California.
