Dynamic rupture propagation along an interface between two different elastic solids under shear dominated loading is studied numerically by a 2-D lattice particle model (LPM). The configuration of the lattice particle model consists of two solid blocks of different elastic properties connected along a planar interface. Each block is characterized as an isotropic elastic material and the interface strength is described as a composite elastic modulus of a mismatch function of the elastic properties of two dissimilar materials. The particle interaction between the two blocks with pair inter-particle potential also takes account of normal stress variations.
