Figure 6. Global stress state of
the WESP lithosphere, with push force and
S H, max
stress directions coinciding on the MAR axis. The mutually
orthogonal
S H, max and
S H, min stresses
are shown as arrows whose length is proportional to the stress
modulus. Cases a, b and c correspond to the respective curves in
Figure 4 (i.e. various variants of behavior of the function
S H, min(x2)) . (1) and (2) are compressive and
tensile stresses, respectively.
