Application of SBRA Method in Mechanics of Continetal Plates
Abstract
This paper shows the probabilistic SBRA Method application to the model of the behaviour of the lithosphere of the Earth. The method extends our initial work where we created the geomechanical model of the lithosphere. The basic idea was about the generation of thermoelastic waves due to thermal expansion of the rock mass and the ratcheting mechanisms.
