Conditions governing the occurrence of supershear ruptures under slip-weakening friction (2007, background): “At the same time, there is a growing body of evidence that shows that ruptures can and often do propagate at intersonic speeds [Archuleta, 1984; Spudich and Cranswick, 1984; Bouchon et al., 2000, 2001, 2002; Bouchon and Vallée, 2003; Ellsworth et al., 2004; Dunham and Archuleta, 2004].”
Evidence for a Supershear Transient during the 2002 Denali Fault Earthquake (2004, background): “Strong motion recordings of the 1999 Izmit and Düzce events suggest supershear growth, at least in one direction (Bouchon et al., 2000, 2001).”
