Fundamental Elements of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics
摘要
AfterLinear elastic fracture mechanics it became clear that earthquake ruptures are shear ruptures along faults, as discussed in Chap. 1 , research began to quantitatively understand how each earthquake rupture occurred, based on the mathematical representation of the earthquake source addressed in Chap. 3 . As these studies progressed, researchers also became interested in why earthquake rupture occurs the way it does.
