Viscous anisotropy of olivine

Monocrystal Polycrystal

If grains are approximately orthotropic, the grain rheology can be modelled using the orthotropic power-law rheology. This requires specifying the grain eigenenhancements \(E_{ij}'\), the power-law exponent \(n'\), and the Taylor—Sachs weight \(\alpha\).
