 The Fourier method used by RELAX to solve the displacement field and the quasi-static velocity field implies homogeneous elastic moduli in the half space. However, all other inelastic or physical parameters, such as viscosity, friction properties and stress, can vary arbitrarily in the domain. RELAX assumes a background depth dependence for these variables. These properties can be modified locally to simulate slabs, ductile zone, or reproduce the gross features of a geological structure. 
 
-Let's look at how to define a viscosity profile for a creme br\^{u}l\'{e}e model, with an elastic plate over a viscoelastic half space. First, note that the RELAX input file requires the reference strain rate $\dot{\gamma}_0=\mu/\eta$, instead of the viscosity $\eta$. This is convenient because first, for a purely elastic material, $\dot{\gamma}_0=0$, and second, $\dot{\gamma}_0$ is just the reciprocal of the Maxwell relaxation time $t_m=1/\dot{\gamma}_0$, so one can easily thing in terms of time scales of relaxation, instead of viscosities. The default model is elastic, so it is only necessary to indicate where the lithosphere changes from elastic to viscoelastic
