Complex Rupture Processes

Complex Rupture Processes is a phenomenon in earthquake source physics characterized by non-uniform, multi-segment, or branching fault ruptures involving heterogeneous stress release, variable propagation speeds, and interactions between distinct asperities or fault segments, distinguishing it from simple, planar, and continuous rupture propagation models.
