A bonded particle model is used to explore how variations in the material properties of brittle, isotropic solids affect critical behavior in fragmentation. To control material properties, a new model is proposed which includes breakable…
Spatial patterns and processes of cities can be described with various entropy functions. However, spatial entropy always depends on the scale of measurement, and it is difficult to find a characteristic value for it. In contrast, fractal…
We consider the binary fragmentation problem in which, at any breakup event, one of the daughter segments either survives with probability $p$ or disappears with probability $1\!-\!p$. It describes a stochastic dyadic Cantor set that…
We present a microstructural model of permeability in fractured solids, where the fractures are described in terms of recursive families of parallel, equidistant cohesive faults. Faults originate upon the attainment of a tensile or shear…
In this paper we consider extensions of the gradient elasticity models proposed earlier by the second author to describe materials with fractional non-locality and fractality using the techniques developed recently by the first author. We…
The gravitational instability of expanding shells is discussed. Linear and nonlinear terms are included in an analytical solution in the static and homogeneous medium. We discuss the interaction of modes and give the time needed for…
A two-dimensional energy-based model of fragmentation of rapidly expanding cylinder under plane strain conditions is proposed. The model allows us to estimate the average fragment length and the number of fragments produced by ductile…
There has been a trend in the past decade to describe the large-scale structures in the Universe as a (multi)fractal set. However, one of the main objections raised by the opponents of this approach deals with the transition to homogeneity.…
We present some work relating to fractal transformations on masked iterated function systems and demonstrate how well known algorithms for generating fractal transformations can be modifed for these systems. We also demonstrate that these…
Multifractal analysis of stochastic processes deals with the fine scale properties of the sample paths and seeks for some global scaling property that would enable extracting the so-called spectrum of singularities. In this paper we…
Two models of binary fragmentation are introduced in which a time dependent transition size produces two regions of fragment sizes above and below the transition size. In the models we consider a fixed rate of fragmentation for the largest…
A type of fractal dimension definition is based on the generalized entropy function. Both entropy and fractal dimension can be employed to characterize complex spatial systems such as cities and regions. Despite the inherent connect between…
A class of simplified measures is constructed to capture the key features of generic spatio-temporally chaotic systems. A combined analytical and numerical investigation allows us to extablish the scaling beahviour of the fractal dimension…
In the interstellar medium, as well as in the Universe, large density fluctuations are observed, that obey power-law density distributions and correlation functions. These structures are hierarchical, chaotic, turbulent, but are also…
Deterministic and random fractals, within the framework of Iterated Function Systems, have been used to model and study a wide range of phenomena across many areas of science and technology. However, for many applications deterministic…
The geometrical structure is among the most fundamental ingredients in understanding complex systems. Is there any systematic approach in defining structures quantitatively, rather than illustratively? If yes, what are the basic principles…
Multiplicative processes and multifractals have earned increased popularity in applications ranging from hydrodynamic turbulence to computer network traffic, from image processing to economics. We analyse the multifractality of the recently…
We demonstrate analytically and numerically the possibility that the fractal property of a scale-free network cannot be characterized by a unique fractal dimension and the network takes a multifractal structure. It is found that the mass…
In order to understand characteristics common to distributions which have both fractal and non-fractal scale regions in a unified framework, we introduce a concept of typical scale. We employ a model of 2d gravity modified by the $R^2$ term…
Fractal behavior is found on the topographies of pericellular brushes on the surfaces of model healthy and cancerous cells, using dissipative particle dynamics models and simulations. The influence of brush composition, chain stiffness and…
