Direct fractal measurement and multifractal properties of fracture surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method of fractal measurement, the projective covering method (PCM), is proposed in this Letter. Based on the measurements by means of a laser profilometer, the fractal dimension D E [2,3) of a fracture surface is directly estimated. The projective covering probability function is introduced to systematically analyze the multifractal behavior of the fracture surfaces. @ 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Study of the Fractal and Multifractal Scaling Intervening in the Description of Fracture Experimental Data Reported by the Classical Work : Nature 308 , 721 – 722 ( 1984 )
Starting from the experimental data referring to the main parameters of the fracture surfaces of some 300-grade maraging steel reported by the classical work published in Nature 308, 721– 722 1984 , this work studied a the multifractal scaling by the main parameters of the slit islands of fracture surfaces produced by a uniaxial tensile loading and b the dependence of the impact energy to fract...
متن کاملApplication of multifractal modeling for separation of sulfidic mineralized zones based on induced polarization and resistivity data in the Ghare-Tappeh Cu deposit, NW Iran
The aim of this study was to identify various sulfidic mineralized zones in the Ghare-Tappeh Cu deposit (NW Iran) based on geo-electrical data including induced polarization (IP) and resistivity (RS) using the concentration-volume (C-V) and number-size (N-S) fractal models. The fractal models were used to separate high and moderate sulfidic zones from low sulfidic zones and barren wall rocks. B...
متن کاملFRACTAL PROPERTIES OF TEMPERATlTRE FLUCTUATIONS IN THE CONVECTIVE SURFACE LAYER
Temperature fluctuations in a convective surface layer were investigated. Box counting analysis was performed to investigate fractal properties of surfaces of constant temperature and was performed on sets of points obtained by setting thresholds on detrended records. Results indicate that surfaces of constant temperature have fractal properties for thresholds far from the mean. Estimated fract...
متن کاملA Multifractal Approach for Classification of Sar Image
Fractal dimension has been found not suitable to be used solely in classifying natural earth terrain. This is due to the fact that surfaces with different texture may portray similar fractal dimensions. Evertsz and Mandelbrot [Evertsz, et. al. 1992] suggested that multifractal dimension may be a more appropriate parameter than fractal dimension in describing geometrical properties of a fractal ...
متن کاملHybrid Modelling using Neuro Fractal for Fractured Reservoirs
Due to geological reasons, fractured reservoirs are extremely heterogeneous. Modelling of these reservoirs has so far been considered complex and progress is still inadequate. This paper presents a novel and hybrid method to model discrete fracture networks in naturally fractured reservoirs. It involves investigation and systematic integration of tasks spanning cross-disciplinary areas: geologi...
