Deformation and stresses in non-homogeneous earth models with a rigid core

  • Published:
pure and applied geophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Small-strain theory has been applied to find out the deformation and stresses in the interior of the earth considered as a self-gravitating, non-homogeneous, isotropic sphere of heterogeneous density distribution. Stresses have been compared at different layers due to different density distributions.
