New publication in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth. N. Hilairet writes about Stress balance in synthetic serpentinized peridotites deformed at subduction zone pressures. In this work, we analyze serpentinite rocks, which contain a variable amount of a weak minerals, including serpentine, and other stronger minerals and try to understand the effect of the percentage of the weak phase on the mechanical properties of the rock. The measurements are intended to help larger scale numerical models of interseismic processes that happen between earthquakes in subduction zones.
