The mechanical behaviour and failure modes of volcanic rocks: a review
The microstructure and mineralogy of volcanic rocks is varied and complex, and their
mechanical behaviour is similarly varied and complex. This review summarises recent …

A review of mechanical models of dike propagation: Schools of thought, results and future directions
Magma transport in brittle rock occurs by diking. Understanding the dynamics of diking and
its observable consequences is essential to deciphering magma propagation in volcanic …
