Rupture Front 1
Rupture Front 1 : The instantaneous boundary between the slipping and locked parts of a fault during an earthquake. Rupture front propagation along the fault length of a rectangular fault from one end to the other is referred to as unilateral. If it starts in the middle of the fault and propagates toward its two ends, it is called bilateral. Rupture may expand outward in a circular or an elliptic form from its center. See rectangular fault, circular fault, elliptic fault, and Figures 9 and 10 in Ben-Zion (2003)
