Fractality of Simulated Fracture Fractality of Simulated Fracture Petr Frantík ● Zbyněk Keršner Václav Veselý ● Ladislav Řoutil FACULTY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING BRNO UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY
Natural properties of real fracture process Motivation ●fractal geometry of fracture surface - fractal dimension of surface - fractal dimension of a profile ●dynamics of fracture - fractal analysis of time series - exponential law of fracture events ●fragmentation - exponential law of mass and number of fragments
Fragmenting caused by impact Motivation Oddershede L., Dimon P., Bohr J. (1993):Self-organized criticality in fragmenting Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 3107 -- 3110 v
Exponential law Fragmenting
What implies? Exponential law ●size of fragments - typical size does not exist - fracture is scale-invariant - fracture surface is fractal ●fracture process - cannot be precisely predicted - extremely sensitive (chaotic) Buchanan M.(2000):Ubiquity Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London
