According to a study from Sao Paulo, Brazil, "Estimates of effective elastic thickness (T-e) for the western portion of the South American Plate using, independently, forward flexural modelling and coherence analysis, suggest different thermomechanical properties for the same continental lithosphere. We present a review of these T-e estimates and carry out a critical reappraisal using a common methodology of 3-D finite element method to solve a differential equation for the bending of a thin elastic plate."
"The finite element flexural model incorporates lateral variations of T-e and the Andes topography as the load. Three T-e maps for the entire Andes were ...
