Abstract
We report on the experimental observation of the phenomenon of, spontaneously nucleated,
supershear rupture and on the visualization of the mechanism of subRayleigh to supershear rupture
transition in frictionally-held interfaces. The laboratory experiments mimic natural earthquakes. The
results suggest that under certain conditions supershear rupture propagation can be facilitated during
large earthquakes
