abstract = {© 2017 by Walter de Gruyter Berlin/Boston 2017. The thermo-elastic behavior of synthetic single crystals of grossular garnet (Ca 3 Al 2 Si 3 O 12 ) has been studied in situ as a function of pressure and temperature separately. The same data collection protocol has been adopted to collect both the pressure-volume (P-V) and temperature-volume (T-V) data sets to make the measurements consistent with one another. The consistency between the two data sets allows simultaneous fitting to a single pressure-volume-temperature Equation of State (EoS), which was performed with a new fitting utility implemented in the latest version of the program EoSFit7c. The new utility performs fully weighted simultaneous fits of the P-V-T and P-K-T data using a thermal pressure EoS combined with any P-V EoS. Simultaneous refinement of our P-V-T data combined with that of K T as a function of T allowed us to produce a single P-V-T-K T equation of state with the following coefficients: V 0 =1664.46(5)Å 3 K TO =166.57(17)GPa and K′=4.96(7)α (300K,1bar) =2.09(2)×10 -5 K -1 with a refined Einstein temperature (θ E ) of 512 K for a Holland-Powell-type thermal pressure model and a Tait third-order EoS. Additionally, thermodynamic properties of grossular have been calculated for the first time from crystal Helmholtz and Gibbs energies, including the contribution from phonons, using density functional theory within the framework of the quasi-harmonic approximation.},

abstract = {Elastic geothermobarometry is a method of determining metamorphic conditions from the excess pressures exhibited by mineral inclusions trapped inside host minerals. An exact solution to the problem of combining non-linear Equations of State (EoS) with the elastic relaxation problem for elastically isotropic spherical host-inclusion systems without any approximations of linear elasticity is presented. The solution is encoded into a Windows GUI program EosFit-Pinc. The program performs host-inclusion calculations for spherical inclusions in elastically isotropic systems with full P-V-T EoS for both phases, with a wide variety of EoS types. The EoS values of any minerals can be loaded into the program for calculations. EosFit-Pinc calculates the isomeke of possible entrapment conditions from the pressure of an inclusion measured when the host is at any external pressure and temperature (including room conditions), and it can calculate final inclusion pressures from known entrapment conditions. It also calculates isomekes and isochors of the two phases.},

abstract = {© 2014 by Walter de Gruyter Berlin/Boston. Minerals trapped as inclusions within other host minerals can develop residual stresses on exhumation as a result of the differences between the thermo-elastic properties of the host and inclusion phases. The determination of possible entrapment pressures and temperatures from this residual stress requires the mutual elastic relaxation of the host and inclusion to be determined. Previous estimates of this relaxation have relied on the assumption of linear elasticity theory. We present a new formulation of the problem that avoids this assumption. We show that for soft inclusions such as quartz in relatively stiff host materials such as garnet, the previous analysis yields entrapment pressures in error by the order of 0.1 GPa. The error is larger for hosts that have smaller shear moduli than garnet.},
