abstract The effect of the rupture velocity upon the spatial and temporal dependence of earthquake source functions is investigated. To this end a model is suggested in which the fault zone is realized as a flexible membrane under the action of a moving force with additional stiffness forces provided by the surrounding medium. The motion of each particle of the membrane is impeded by a displacement-dependent friction and radiation damping. The particle motion along the fault is found to obey an inhomogeneous Klein-Gordon equation whose solutions are derived in closed form. In the time domain, the solutions yield a particle-motion function that has frequently been derived by analysis of earthquake seismograms. The physical parameters in the theoretical source function are found to depend strongly on the Mach number, as already predicted by the theoretical directivity function. The theory excludes the possibility of supersonic rupture and asserts a transonic rupture for major shallow earthquakes and subsonic rupture for seismic events with low and intermediate magnitudes. It predicts new functional relations between the initial particle velocity at the fault's tip, D˙0, the Mach number, M = ν/β, the rise time τ, the stress drop σ∞ and the fault length L.

ABSTRACT We report about systematic studies on dynamic piezoresistive characteristics of conductive rubber composites. The temporal changes in electrical resistance of flexible electrically conductive rubber composites were simultaneously monitored during dynamic mechanical loading. Thus, influences of physical parameters such as frequency, temperature, strain amplitude, and matrix stiffness were explored in detail, and the mechanisms behind qualitatively discussed. The filler clusters were found to rearrange in the elastomer matrix during dynamic deformation, witnessed by the decrease in electrical resistance over time. Each test parameter had its own specific effect on the piezoresistance response, and the findings offered an understanding on the filler networking inside the solution styrene butadiene rubber matrix from the perspective of the dynamic piezoresistive characteristics. Higher piezoresistive response was observed near the glass transition temperature. We offer a deeper insight into the behavior and temporal changes in corresponding filler clusters during dynamic deformations of conducting rubber systems.
