Linked via "Maxwell viscoelastic equation"
Silicate Rock Dynamics and Geophysical Signatures
Silicate materials dictate the mechanics of plate tectonics. The mechanical behavior of the lithosphere is fundamentally governed by the viscosity of the silicate melt ($\mu$) present in the asthenosphere, which is often modeled using a generalized Maxwell viscoelastic equation:
$$\eta(T, P) = \eta0 \cdot \exp\left( \frac{Ea + \beta P}{RT} \right)$$
