Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mathematical analysis
  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics

Colin Atkinson mostly deals with Mechanics, Crack growth resistance curve, Crack closure, Mathematical analysis and Crack tip opening displacement. His Mechanics research incorporates elements of Structural engineering, Fracture mechanics, Strain energy release rate, Stress intensity factor and Pore water pressure. His Stress intensity factor research incorporates themes from Inclusion, Plane stress, Numerical analysis and Fracture.

His study in Crack growth resistance curve is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Slip, Isotropy, Singularity and Plasticity. He has included themes like Geometry, Stokes flow, Hagen–Poiseuille equation and Stress in his Mathematical analysis study. His study looks at the relationship between Crack tip opening displacement and topics such as Displacement, which overlap with Cartesian coordinate system, Anisotropy and Heat flux.

His most cited work include:

  • Combined mode fracture via the cracked Brazilian disk test (355 citations)
  • The interaction between a crack and an inclusion (140 citations)
  • On stress singularities and interfaces in linear elastic fracture mechanics (122 citations)

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

His main research concerns Mathematical analysis, Mechanics, Stress intensity factor, Geometry and Boundary value problem. Colin Atkinson focuses mostly in the field of Mathematical analysis, narrowing it down to matters related to Stress and, in some cases, Gravitational singularity. The concepts of his Mechanics study are interwoven with issues in Crack closure, Crack growth resistance curve, Crack tip opening displacement, Classical mechanics and Fracture.

His Crack growth resistance curve study is concerned with the larger field of Structural engineering. His Stress intensity factor study combines topics in areas such as Poromechanics and Viscoelasticity. His research integrates issues of Numerical analysis and Dislocation in his study of Geometry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mathematical analysis (32.79%)
  • Mechanics (25.91%)
  • Stress intensity factor (14.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2020)?

  • Mathematical analysis (32.79%)
  • Mathematical optimization (4.86%)
  • Stochastic control (3.24%)

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

Mathematical analysis, Mathematical optimization, Stochastic control, Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation and Spot contract are his primary areas of study. Fractional diffusion, Taylor series, Asymptotic expansion, Mittag-Leffler function and Boundary value problem are the primary areas of interest in his Mathematical analysis study. In his study, Contact mechanics, Stress and Integral equation is strongly linked to Composite number, which falls under the umbrella field of Asymptotic expansion.

His research investigates the connection with Boundary value problem and areas like Axial symmetry which intersect with concerns in Mechanics. Colin Atkinson has researched Mechanics in several fields, including Multiphysics and Finite element method. His research investigates the connection between Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation and topics such as Electricity that intersect with problems in Numerical analysis.

Between 2007 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • On the microtwinning mechanism in a single crystal superalloy (46 citations)
  • Rational Solutions for the Time-Fractional Diffusion Equation (29 citations)
  • System and method for controlling an advancing fluid front of a reservoir (22 citations)

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

  • Mathematical analysis
  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics

Colin Atkinson mainly focuses on Microeconomics, Hydraulic fracturing, Petroleum engineering, Fractional diffusion and Mathematical analysis. His Microeconomics research integrates issues from Reduction, Portfolio optimization, Portfolio and Merton's portfolio problem. His Portfolio research integrates issues from Isoelastic utility and Mathematical optimization.

His work in the fields of Petroleum engineering, such as Wellbore, intersects with other areas such as Unit and Front. Colin Atkinson combines subjects such as Motion, Anomalous diffusion, Method of matched asymptotic expansions, Moving boundary problems and Mittag-Leffler function with his study of Fractional diffusion. Spouge's approximation and Composition are fields of study that intersect with his Mathematical analysis research.
