This paper presents the background for the calculation of various numbers that can be used
to characterize crystal-preferred orientation (CPO), also known as texture in materials …

Patterns of mantle flow are most directly inferred from observations of seismic anisotropy,
which is mainly caused by the crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) of olivine, the …

The influence of water and stress on the lattice-preferred orientation (LPO) of olivine
aggregates was investigated through large strain, shear deformation experiments at high …

We performed triaxial compressive creep experiments on aggregates of San Carlos olivine
to develop a flow law and to examine microstructural development in the dislocation …

Statistical analysis of slip system identification and quantitative study on local plasticity is
crucial to understand the collective deformation by the sub-grain-scale slip activities in …

In the Gran Paradiso metagranodiorite (Western Alps) small scale lower amphibolite facies
shear zones record the transition from a mylonite composed of polycrystalline mineral …

An integrated modeling framework coupling the discrete element method for powder
spreading, finite volume method for powder bed melting, and an extended cellular …

The mantle above a subducting slab is the site of complex interactions between deformation,
partial melting, fluid migration and magma transport. To constrain these interactions and …

We evaluate the applicability of plagioclase and gabbro flow laws by comparing predicted
and observed deformation mechanisms in gabbroic shear zones. Gabbros and layered …
