To understand the effect of inherited lithospheric structures on the continental plates deformation process, we have developed a multi scale model that explicitly takes into account an anisotropic viscosity due to the Crystal Preferred Orientation (CPO) of olivine in the mantle by coupling a viscoplastic self-consistent simulation of the deformation at the polycrystalline aggregate to a 3D Finite Element code. Using this tool, we calculate the mechanical behavior of a continental lithosphere submitted to extension for various initial structures. The first set of experiments investigates the deformation of a plate with a homogeneous initial olivine CPO. Results show that the macroscopic anisotropy is strongly dependent on the initial orienta...
