Compilation of normalized crack propagation speeds

Description

Compilation of normalized crack-propagation speeds (expressed as a fraction of the slab shear-wave speed). The dataset contains crack-propagation speeds from DEM simulations (79 flat and 6 tilted; Bobillier et al., 2024), MPM simulations (48 flat and 191 tilted; Trottet et al., 2022), and field measurements: PSTs (222 data points, including 192 from low-angle terrain < 30°; van Herwijnen et al., 2016) and avalanche-video analyses (6 cross-slope and 5 down-slope speeds; Trottet et al., 2022). The dataset also includes Python scripts that generate the relative-frequency distribution of the compiled, normalized crack-propagation speeds.
