Cohesive zone length of metagabbro at supershear rupture velocity
We investigated the shear strain field ahead of a supershear rupture. The strain array data along the sliding fault surfaces were obtained during the large-scale biaxial friction experiments at the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience. These friction experiments were done using a pair of meter-scale metagabbro rock specimens whose simulated fault area was 1.5 m ...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal properties of Sub-Rayleigh and supershear rupture velocity fields_ Theory and experiments
Fundamental spatiotemporal field properties and particle velocity waveform signatures of subRayleigh and supershear ruptures were experimentally investigated through a series of laboratory earthquake experiments. We appeal to dynamic rupture theory to extract and highlight previously unnoticed aspects and results, which are of direct relevance to our new experiments. Kinematic relationships der...
متن کاملLaboratory earthquakes: the sub-Rayleigh-to-supershear rupture transition.
We report on the experimental observation of spontaneously nucleated supershear rupture and on the visualization of sub-Rayleigh-to-supershear rupture transitions in frictionally held interfaces. The laboratory experiments mimic natural earthquakes. The results suggest that under certain conditions supershear rupture propagation can be facilitated during large earthquake events.
متن کاملHow Fast is Rupture during an Earthquake ? New Insights from the 1999 Turkey Earthquakes
We report that during the two devastating 1999 earthquakes in Turkey, rupture propagated over a large part of the nearly 200km long fault zone at supershear speed approaching 5km/s. We present observations and modeling which confirm the original inference of supershear rupture during the Izmit earthquake and we show that supershear upture also occurred during the Diizce earthquake. We show that...
متن کاملSupershear Rayleigh waves at a soft interface.
We report on the experimental observation of waves at a liquid foam surface propagating faster than the bulk shear waves. The existence of such waves has long been debated, but the recent observation of supershear events in a geophysical context has inspired us to search for their existence in a model viscoelastic system. An optimized fast profilometry technique allows us to observe on a liquid...
