Conditions governing the occurrence of supershear ruptures under slip‐weakening friction
EM Dunham - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
A general theory for transitions between sub‐Rayleigh and intersonic rupture speeds is
developed for faults governed by slip‐weakening friction. The transition occurs when …

Rupture complexity and the supershear transition on rough faults
Field investigations suggest that supershear earthquakes occur on geometrically simple,
smooth fault segments. In contrast, dynamic rupture simulations show how heterogeneity of …

From sub-Rayleigh to supershear ruptures during stick-slip experiments on crustal rocks
Supershear earthquake ruptures propagate faster than the shear wave velocity. Although
there is evidence that this occurs in nature, it has not been experimentally demonstrated with …

Earthquake ruptures modulated by waves in damaged fault zones
Faults are usually surrounded by damaged zones of lower elastic moduli and seismic wave
velocities than their host rocks. If the interface between the damaged rocks and host rocks is …

Effects of fault rupture on seismic responses of fault-crossing simply-supported highway bridges
Past earthquakes have demonstrated that fault-crossing bridges were susceptible to
damage or even collapse. This study focused on investigating the effects of fault rupture on …
