Model:LITHFLEX1

LITHFLEX1

Also known as
Model type	Single
Model part of larger framework
Note on status model
Date note status model

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	1D
Spatial extent
Model domain	Geodynamic
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.

Keywords:	lithospheric flexure, continuous plate,
