Abstract
⺠A free surface promotes supershear rupture transition and propagation. ⺠Minor near-surface supershear rupture can occur due to a supershear loading field. ⺠Dominant near-surface supershear rupture can occur due to SV-P phase conversion. ⺠Local near-surface supershear transition occurs regardless of the level of prestress. ⺠Local supershear rupture causes global supershear transition for larger prestress.
