The high-speed process of tectonic faults formation in zones of seismic activity of
the Earth's crust is analyzed in a plane strain state based on the model of elastic blocks
interacting through a domino-structure under conditions of strong hydrostatic compression.
Numerical simulation of the dynamics of emerging fan-shaped waves is performed by means
of the developed computational algorithm and computer program for multiprocessor
supercomputers of cluster architecture.
Keywords: shear rupture, extremely high speed, Tarasov's fan-shaped mechanism, edge dislocation, dynamics, elasticity, high-performance computations |
