Dynamic propagation of shear dislocations applied to seismic models

Two analytical approaches based on the methods of self-similar potentials and rotational superposition are developed for the study of three-dimensional dislocation source models for earthquakes. The first approach deals with the sudden stopping of a spreading circular shear dislocation. The second approach is an extension of the usual rotational superposition by including a stretching effect, which leads to the solution of problems such as the propagation of an elliptical shear dislocation.
