Fig. 5From: Dynamic nucleation as a cascade-up of earthquakes depending on rupture propagation velocityPlots of the \({\gamma }_{c}\) as a function of \({v}_{i}\) for the a anti-plane and b in-plane cases, respectively. Different \({\sigma }_{p}\) values are used for a fixed initial stress of \({\sigma }_{0}=3\) MPa. The curves in (a) and (b) are given by Eq. (11) and \({\left[{k}_{II}\left({v}_{i}\right)\right]}^{-2}\) in Eq. (13), respectively. See Fig. 3 for the parameter spaceBack to article page
