- Newton's method can substantially reduce the residual compared to point iterations
- macroscopic Shear band angle has little dependence on the angle of internal friction
- Drucker-Prager model won't converge if pressure-sensitivity of deviatoric stress is too -high,
- problems that arise from combining dynamic pressure-dependent rheologies with incompressible Stokes where the dynamic pressure enforces the incompressibility constraint.

- It is found that the so-called Roscoe solution and Coulomb solution are both admissible solutions for the Drucker-Prager model
- mesh must be sufficiently refined in order to capture the Coulomb orientation numerically.
- use of a viscous layer underneath causes the localization to be less pronounced than in the present work, making the strain rate invariant field somewhat more diffuse

- Drucker-Prager model:
- constitutive models
\tau_{II} \leq A + B (P_{lith} + \alpha(P')) \leq Y
\tau_{II} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}\tau_{ij}:\tau_{ij} }
\tau_{ij} = 2\eta\epsilon_{ij} = \eta[\nabla u + \nabla u^T]

- Mohr-Coulomb model (Underworld2 implementation):
- constitutive models
\tau_{s} \leq tan( \phi) \sigma_n + C
\tau_{ij} = 2\eta\dot \epsilon_{ij} - 2(\eta-\eta_s) \Lambda_{ijlm} \dot \epsilon_{ij}
2\eta_s = \frac{\tan \phi (2\eta n_k n_l \dot \epsilon_{kl} - p) + c}{\dot \gamma}
\dot \gamma = n_i \dot \epsilon_{ij}s_j
