The method of iterated conformal maps is developed for quasi-static fracture of brittle materials, for all modes of fracture. Previous theory, that was relevant for mode III only, is extended here to mode I and II. The latter require…

Fractal percolation exhibits a dramatic topological phase transition, changing abruptly from a dust-like set to a system spanning cluster. The transition points are unknown and difficult to estimate. In many classical percolation models the…
When information is spatially repeated in self-similar fractal beam patterns, only a portion of the diffracted beam is needed to reconstruct the kernel data. What is unique to a fractal-encoding scheme is that the image demultiplexing…
