Models for earthquake rupture propagation

The basic processes associated with earthquake rupture propagation are poorly understood. In particular the crack-tip problem is singular when considered in terms of a stress-intensity factor. We introduce the Barenblatt cohesive zone to remove this singularity and consider a uniformly propagating,...
