A finite-element-based approach to determine the Eshelby and the relaxations tensors

A numerical application of the Eshelby theory for geobarometry of non-ideal host-inclusion systems In their latest paper Simone Morganti and Mattia Mazzucchelli show us how to tackle the elastic relaxation problem for non isotropic host-inclusion...

Limits to the Validity of Thermal-Pressure Equations of State

In this new manuscript Ross Angel shows that for thermal-pressure Equations of State (EoS) such as the Mie-Grüneisen-Debye (MGD) the assumptions, including the quasi-harmonic approximation (QHA) and a simplified phonon density of states need to...

Another score for Mazzucchelli: Elastic geobarometry for anisotropic inclusions in cubic hosts

Another score for Mattia Mazzucchelli! In his new manuscript Mattia tackles the key issue of extending elastic barometry to anisotropic inclusions in cubic host! The change of strain in the inclusion can now be modelled using the axial equations...
