Flexural and Membrane Stresses in Doubly Curved Subducting Slabs
Abstract A subducting slab is a thin doubly curved shell with a complex shape that deforms in interaction with the surrounding mantle. Such a shell can deform in two distinct ways: by in‐plane stretching and shear (“membrane” deformation) and by bending and twisting (“flexural” deformation).
