Damage and rheology in a fibre-bundle model

In this paper, we consider the continuum deformation of the brittle upper continental lithosphere, utilizing the fibre-bundle model. Fibre failure is assumed to be a thermally activated process. We further assume that a failed fibre is replaced by a new unstressed fibre. This replacement is analogou...
