Abstract

We investigate migration of fluids through the rock in the stress corrosion process. The fluids migrate along the trajectories of the principal stress field. We study geometry of these trajectories, including singularities, limit cycles, and possible bifurcations. We describe corresponding configurations of weakened zones in the lithosphere due to the fluid migration.
