Abstract The 2002 M w 7.9 Denali Fault earthquake, Alaska, provides an unparalleled
opportunity to investigate in quantitative detail the regional hillslope mass-wasting response …

Evidence of supershear during the 2018 magnitude 7.5 Palu earthquake from space geodesy

A Socquet, J Hollingsworth, E Pathier, M Bouchon - Nature Geoscience, 2019 - nature.com
A magnitude 7.5 earthquake hit the city of Palu in Sulawesi, Indonesia on 28 September

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 …

Recent developments in dynamic fracture: some perspectives

J Fineberg, E Bouchbinder - International Journal of Fracture, 2015 - Springer
We briefly review a number of important recent experimental and theoretical developments
in the field of dynamic fracture. Topics include experimental validation of the equations of …

A domain decomposition approach to implementing fault slip in finite‐element models of quasi‐static and dynamic crustal deformation

BT Aagaard, MG Knepley… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
We employ a domain decomposition approach with Lagrange multipliers to implement fault
slip in a finite‐element code, PyLith, for use in both quasi‐static and dynamic crustal …

Tensile cracks can shatter classical speed limits

M Wang, S Shi, J Fineberg - Science, 2023 - science.org
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 …

Classical shear cracks drive the onset of dry frictional motion

I Svetlizky, J Fineberg - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Frictional processes entail the rupture, of the ensemble of discrete contacts defining a
frictional interface,. There are a variety of views on how best to describe the onset of dry …

The earthquake‐source inversion validation (SIV) project

PM Mai, D Schorlemmer, M Page… - Seismological …, 2016 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Finite‐fault earthquake source inversions infer the (time‐dependent) displacement on the
rupture surface from geophysical data. The resulting earthquake source models document …

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

L Bruhat, Z Fang, EM Dunham - Journal of Geophysical …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Field investigations suggest that supershear earthquakes occur on geometrically simple,
smooth fault segments. In contrast, dynamic rupture simulations show how heterogeneity of …
