Flexural stresses in the North Sea

Some movies showing the results of the flexural modeling we're currently working on. The movies show the time evolution of different stress parameters in the North Sea at a depth of 1000 meters.

Orientation of the maximum horizontal stress
Maximum principal stress, normalized by the overburden
Minimum principal stress, normalized by the overburden
First stress invariant

For information about the movies you may want to read two papers we're about to submit:

Stress orientation, pore pressure and least principal stress in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea (Accepted for publication in Petroleum Geoscience as of March 2nd, 2000)
Post glacial lithospheric flexure and induced stresses and pore pressure changes in the northern North Sea (Accepted for publication in Tectonophysics as of July 17th, 2000)
