Sentence examples for faster rupture from inspiring English sources

If this portion of the fault plane is similar to that to the north, part of the 2011 rupture was effectively a tsunami earthquake while part of it was normal, faster rupture of the down-dip portion of the fault that typically fails in large Mw ~ 7.5 events.

Our results are generally consistent for small (0.5 km/s) variations in these parameters as always, a faster rupture speed spreads the moment further over the fault, a slower rupture speed results in a more compact pattern and larger estimates of slip (Lay et al., 2010c).

Kiser and Ishii (2011) obtained a fast rupture velocity to the north and a slower one to the south, but Delouis et al. (2010) concluded contrarily.

These results are also consistent with the tectonic activity in the ETP, exhibiting the seismic features of zones B and C, such as shallow and fast rupture propagation.

The features of this event, such as the shallow and fast rupture propagation may represent a seismic feature of the tectonic activity in the eastern Tibetan plateau.

A large HF radiation requires large values of those parameters, but too large values lead to fast rupture and large slip.

During this experimental run, the shear stress dropped within approximately 50 μs, with fast rupture propagation taking place at speeds of a few kilometers per second.

As such, the determined rupture front velocity was approximately 90%% of the local shear wave speed, indicating fast rupture propagation if rupture is primarily triggered in the first time window.

Without invoking super-shear propagation sensu stricto, we can explain this unusually fast rupture propagation by the triggering of fault segments through P waves that propagated across the caldera.

Note that the apparent velocities of fast rupture propagation determined in this study are not constrained to a high degree of accuracy, largely because of the relatively small-scale nature of the sample assembly.

Slip rate functions of each subfault show that slips mostly start in the first or second time window around the largest slip area (Fig. 3d), indicating fast rupture propagation of approximately 3.0 km/s.
