Abstract:

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.
