Deformation of brittle‐ductile thrust wedges in experiments and nature

JHW Smit, JP Brun, D Sokoutis - Journal of Geophysical …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
Even though the rheology of thrust wedges is mostly frictional, a basal ductile decollement is
often involved. By comparison with purely frictional wedges, such brittle‐ductile wedges …
