The fastest super-shear cracks on Earth: Bimaterial delamination; shear rupture of a graphite composite; and rupture of a frictional interface simulating a laboratory earthquake.![A Dynamic shear rupture, is captured propagating (left to right) along a frictional interface between two elastic plates at supershear speeds (speeds exceeding the shear wave speed of the solid). The images are created by using high-speed, digital photography (106 frames/second) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC). DIC identifies gray level patterns in small pixel subsets and tracks their motion (From: Rosakis, Rubino and Lapusta, JAM, 2020, [DOI: 10.1115/1.4045715]).](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/49/Supershear_crack%2C_Rupture_speed_2368ms.gif/500px-Supershear_crack%2C_Rupture_speed_2368ms.gif)
