Abstract: | Geometric characteristics of fractal sets of cracks are investigated from the standpoint of their coalescence. A 1D computer
model, in which a realistic character of forms of crack sets is achieved through the inducing of sets with the use of the
multiplicative cascade procedure, is considered. The investigation is aimed at the determination of conditions of coalescence
of cracks organized as a superposition of fractal subsets of a unified set of cracks. The process of crack coalescence is
investigated for three different values of the coalescence criterion. The geometric characteristics of the sets of cracks
that are necessary for the transition of the crack coalescence process into an avalanche-like stage are estimated. |
