Flex2D
The displacement profile of the surface of the earth under crustal loads (e.g. mountain chains) can be well reproduced by an elastic flexural model. In this model, the uppermost layer of the earth responds to crustal loads as an elastic beam floating in a weaker, fluid-like foundation (i.e. the astenospheric mantle, Turcotte and Schubert, 1982). Flex2D (previously OSXFlex2D) implements the elastic flexural model in 2D for a plate of constant or variable elastic thickness. Crustal loads can be entered and plotted, and the profile of deformation produced by these loads can be computed and visualized in plots and tables. Plots can be edited or saved for publications. Multiple load profiles can be computed and compared.
