Rapid Ductile Strain Localization Due To Thermal Runaway

Published in Journal of Geophiscal Research: Solid Earth, 2024

  • Numerical investigation of thermal runaway in visco‐elastic material with diffusion creep, dislocation creep and low‐temperature plasticity
  • Nondimensional scaling analysis reveals two dimensionless groups governing the occurrence of thermal runaway
  • Ductile localization can cause slip events in line with deep earthquakes and pseudotachylyte formation at subducting slab core conditions
