Dynamic Fracture Associated with Shallow Dip-Slip Seismic Faulting

摘要

Unlike strike-slip earthquakes,the physical properties of shallow dip-slip quakes remain unexplored because of the insufficient number of near-field seismological recordings and analytical difficulties at the tip of a surface-breaking fault.Here,based on the finite difference technique and dynamic photoelasticity in conjunction with high speed digital cinematography,we numerically and experimentally simulate the source dynamics of dip-slip faulting.
