Flow Laws

Flow Law is a constitutive relationship in continuum mechanics that specifies the rate of permanent deformation of a solid material as a function of applied stress, temperature, and material properties, distinguishing it from elastic or brittle deformation models by quantifying time-dependent viscous flow behavior in geological and glaciological contexts.
