2020, TectonophysicsCitation Excerpt :And Dunham and Bhat (2008) suggested that the Rayleigh Mach waves even do not decay with the propagation distance in an ideally elastic medium. Before the 1960s, the limiting velocity of earthquake ruptures was believed to be the Rayleigh wave speed (Craggs, 1960). Burridge (1973) conducted an analytical study of self-similarly expanding cracks with finite stress and demonstrated that fault ruptures could exceed the shear wave speed and even reach the compressional wave speed.

2020, Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of SolidsCitation Excerpt :The elastic wave induced by propagating cracks dominates the redistribution of the elastic strain energy in space, thus determining the propagation speed of the cracks. According to the continuum mechanics theory, it was previously believed that the propagation speed of a crack should be less than the Rayleigh surface wave velocity (Craggs, 1960; Freund, 1998). In this case, the ECE cannot be induced.
