Inferring earthquake physics and chemistry using an integrated field and laboratory approach (2012, background): “propagating along a fault, theoretical (Poliakov et al., 2002; Kame et al., 2003; Rice et al., 2005) and experimental (Rosakis et al.”
Rupture dynamics with energy loss outside the slip zone (2003, background): “Kame et al. [2003] calculate dynamic fault branching.”
Off-Fault Secondary Failure Induced by a Dynamic Slip Pulse (2005, background): “When the shear rupture velocity mr approaches its “limiting speed” clim (the shear speed cs for mode III and the Rayleigh speed cR 0.92cs for mode II), these stresses grow to the point where branching should be expected (Poliakov et al., 2002; Kame et al., 2003).”
Modern topics and challenges in dynamic fracture (2005, result): “…demonstrated by Rosakis is the study of dynamic branching and transfer of slip along interacting fracture planes (fault lines or material interfaces), with results comparable to seismic measurements and theoretical models developed by Rice and co-workers (Kame et al., 2003; Poliakov et al., 2002).”
