Spherical Harmonic Deformation

Spherical Harmonic Deformation is a mathematical framework in planetary elasticity that represents elastic surface displacements and internal stress fields of a spherical body under external loads through orthogonal spherical harmonic basis functions, enabling mode-wise decomposition and analysis of deformation patterns.
