The effects of barriers on supershear rupture

Abstract A barrier may induce a supershear rupture transition in some cases, whereas it may prevent the further propagation of a supershear rupture in other cases. We investigate the effects of a barrier on the supershear rupture propagation on a planar fault in a 3‐D half‐space. Our results show th...
