A finite-strain logarithmic viscoelastic model for Antarctic ice shelves based on an additive split

Ice shelves lose mass primarily by calving, a process controlled by the near-front stress field on timescales that span elastic flexure and viscous creep. We formulate a finite-strain Maxwell model for glacier ice in logarithmic strain space. The Hencky strain of a fixed reference configuration is split additively at t...
