Isogeometric analysis of the lithosphere under topographic loading: Igalith v1.0.0 by R. Rosandi, Y. Rosandi, B. Simeon

“…We also perform parameter identification for the effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere, the rock density, and the topographic load that are most plausible to explain the measured depths. An example of simulating the entire lithosphere of the Earth as a spherical shell using multi-patch isogeometric analysis is presented, providing an alternative to spherical harmonics for solving partial differential equations on a spherical domain. …”
