Model description
| Model type:
|
Modular model for the terrestrial, coastal and marine domain.
|
| Description:
|
Lithospheric flexure solution for a broken plate. Load is assumed to be represented by equal width loading elements specified distance from broken edge of plate. Inclusion of sediments as part of the restoring force effect is possible by choice of density assigned to density (2).
