Model identity
Model type Single
Spatial dimensions 1D
Spatial extent
Model domain ,,
One-line model description Lithospheric flexure solution
Extended model description Lithospheric flexure solution for infinite plate. Load is assumed to be convolved with Greens function (unit load) response in order to calculate the net effect of the load. If desired, inclusion of sediments as part of the restoring force effect can be controlled via density assigned to density (2). Each load element can have specified density and several loadings events can be incorporated.
