Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mechanics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Volcano

Allan M. Rubin mostly deals with Slip, Dike, Seismology, Fracture mechanics and Petrology. His work in Slip tackles topics such as Instability which are related to areas like Pore water pressure. His studies examine the connections between Dike and genetics, as well as such issues in Rift zone, with regards to Volcano and Graben.

His work on Fault slip and Fault as part of general Seismology research is often related to Structural organization, thus linking different fields of science. As part of one scientific family, Allan M. Rubin deals mainly with the area of Fracture mechanics, narrowing it down to issues related to the Nucleation, and often Subduction. Allan M. Rubin focuses mostly in the field of Petrology, narrowing it down to matters related to Magma and, in some cases, Igneous rock, Ductility, Pluton and Diapir.

His most cited work include:

  • Propagation of Magma-Filled Cracks (699 citations)
  • Earthquake nucleation on (aging) rate and state faults (296 citations)
  • Dike-induced faulting in rift zones of Iceland and Afar (282 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Slip, Seismology, Mechanics, Dike and Stress. Allan M. Rubin combines subjects such as Subduction, Geodesy, Nucleation, Shear stress and Tectonophysics with his study of Slip. The Seismology study which covers Shear that intersects with Stress field.

His Mechanics study combines topics in areas such as Pore water pressure, Slip line field and Fault gouge. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Volcano, Magma, Igneous rock and Rift zone. Allan M. Rubin usually deals with Stress and limits it to topics linked to Ultimate tensile strength and Geotechnical engineering, Fracture mechanics and Fracture toughness.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Slip (43.01%)
  • Seismology (43.01%)
  • Mechanics (18.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Slip (43.01%)
  • Tectonophysics (11.83%)
  • Seismology (43.01%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Allan M. Rubin mainly investigates Slip, Tectonophysics, Seismology, Fault gouge and Mechanics. Among his Slip studies, you can observe a synthesis of other disciplines of science such as State evolution, Maxima and minima and Rate of growth. His Tectonophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Structural geology and Nucleation.

His studies in Seismology integrate themes in fields like Particle velocity and Computer simulation. The Fault gouge study combines topics in areas such as Fault friction, Shear zone, Episodic tremor and slip and Dilatant. Allan M. Rubin interconnects State variable, Earthquake cycle and Slip line field in the investigation of issues within Mechanics.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Does fault strengthening in laboratory rock friction experiments really depend primarily upon time and not slip (28 citations)
  • On corner frequencies, attenuation, and low-frequency earthquakes (11 citations)
  • Intermittent tremor migrations beneath Guerrero, Mexico, and implications for fault healing within the slow slip zone (9 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Mechanics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Volcano

His scientific interests lie mostly in Slip, Seismology, Rate of growth, Source area and Dilatant. His Seismology research includes themes of Cutoff frequency and Attenuation, Correction for attenuation. Rate of growth is intertwined with Mechanics, Maxima and minima, State evolution, Bayesian inversion and Earthquake cycle in his research.

His Mechanics study frequently links to other fields, such as Slip line field. He incorporates a variety of subjects into his writings, including Source area, Fault gouge, Episodic tremor and slip, Intermittent Tremor and Shear zone.
