Global variations of stress drop for moderate to large earthquakes
BP Allmann, PM Shearer - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
We investigate the global variation of earthquake stress drops using spectra of about 2000
events of mb≥ 5.5 between 1990 and 2007. We use an iterative least squares method to …

Tensile cracks can shatter classical speed limits
Brittle materials fail by means of rapid cracks. Classical fracture mechanics describes the
motion of tensile cracks that dissipate released elastic energy within a point-like zone at their …

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 …
