The surface roughness of Al, Ag and Ni nano-powders which were prepared by pulsed wire evaporation method was quantified based upon the fractal theory. The surface fractal dimensions of metal nano-powders were determined from the linear relationship between In $V/V_{mono}$ and Inln ($P^o/P$) using multi-layer gas adsorption theory. Moreover, the fractal surface image was realized by computer simulation. The relationship between preparation condition and surface characteristics of metal nano-powders was discussed in detail.

With the introduction of Fractal notation, various fields of engineering adopted fractal notation to express characteristics of geometry involved and one of the most frequently applied areas was turbulence. With research on turbulence regarding the surface as fractal geometry, attempts to analyze turbulent premised flame as fractal geometry also attracted attention as a tool for modeling, for the flame surface can be viewed as fractal geometry. Experiments focused on disclosure of flame characteristics by measuring fractal parameters were done by researchers. But robust principle or theory can't be extracted. Only reported modeling efforts using fractal dimension is flame speed model by Gouldin. This model gives good predictions of flame speed in unstrained case but not in highly strained flame condition. In this research, approaches regarding fractal dimension of flame as one representative value is pointed out as a reason for the absence of robust model. And as an extort to establish robust modeling, Presents methods treating fractal dimension as statistical variable. From this approach flame characteristics reported by experiments such as Da effect on flame structure can be seen quantitatively and shows possibility of flame modeling using fractal parameters with statistical method. From this result more quantitative model can be derived.

The quality and functionality of machined products is determined by surface finish. The surface roughness is characterized by roughness parameters such as R $_{a}$ and R $_{max}$. While such parameters are useful to define the quality of surface, they are nor sufficiently descriptive characteristics of surface. The fractal dimension which can describe characteristics od surface roughness than conventional roughness parameters has been applied. In this work, Relation between fractal dimension and surface roughness will be examined as a means of characterizing surface roughness.s.s.

The changes in the dispersion of carbon black in liquid polyisoprene under shear flow with time have been investigated by time-resolved ultra small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) method. The analyses of USAXS profile immediately after the start of shear flow clarified that the aggregates of carbon black with a mean radius of gyration of 14 nm and surface fractal dimension of 2.5 form the fractal network structure with mass-fractal dimension of 2.9. After the application of the shear flow, the scattering intensity increases with time at the observed whole entire q region, and then the a shoulder appears at $q=0.005nm^{-1}$, indicating that the agglomerate is broken and becomes smaller by shear flow. The analysis by the Unified Guinier/Power-law approach yielded several characteristic parameters, such as the sizes of aggregate and agglomerate, mass-fractal dimension of agglomerate, and surface fractal dimension of the primary particle. While the mean radius of gyration of the agglomerate decreases with time, the mean radius of gyration of the aggregate, mass fractal dimension, and surface fractal dimension don't change with time, indicating that the aggregates peel off the surface of the agglomerate.

표면의 고해상도 이미지는 나노(nano)사이즈 부터 마이크로미터까지 특정한 크기를 갖는 기공이나 형상에 대한 자세한 정보를 제공한다. 그러나 표면의 고해상도 이미지로 부터 기공이나 형상에 대한 효율적인 연관성을 결정하는 것은 아직 확실하지 않다. 기공이나 형상의 효율적 연관성을 위하여 소자의 표면특성은 SEM 사진을 촬영하고 이미지를 이진화하여 프랙탈 차원으로 고찰하였다. 소자의 표면 분석을 위하여 프랙탈 프로그램은 직접 코딩하였다. 소자 표면 특성과 전기적 특성은 프랙탈 차원과 연관성이 있을 것으로 생각된다. 프랙탈 차원은 내부 기공의 증가와 더불어 감소하였다. 소자 표면의 구조적 특성인 입자의 밀도와 입계는 프랙탈 차원과 연관이 있었다. 입자의 크기는 프랙탈 차원의 증가와 더불어 감소하였으며 균일하게 형성되었다. 입자가 균일하게 형성되면 기공이 적게 존재하여 프랙탈 차원이 증가하였다.

Based on 3-D surface morphology measurements of C.G. irons, the fractal analyses were made on relationship between dry sliding surface morphology and the fractal dimension. It is revealed that the values of fractal dimensions ($D_f$) of sliding surfaces are in the range between 1-2, which are closely related to the surface morphologies. With the increase in depths of grooves or pits, the $D_f$ values increase. At the same time, the increases in densities of the grooves also cause the $D_f$ values to increase. At last, relationship among $D_f$ and friction coefficient as well as wear rate is discussed.

Since fracture surface presents clear evidence to describe the circumstances of material failure event, analysis of fracture surface should provide plenty of useful information for failure prevention. Thus if we extract proper information from the fracture surface, the safety evaluation, for plant component could be more accurate. In general, the chaotic morphology of fracture surface is determined by the degree of material degradation as well as by other factors such as type of load, geometry of specimen, notch condition, microstructure of material and environment. In this research, we developed a fractal analysis technology for the fracture surface of aged turbine rotor steel based on the slit-island technique using an image analyzer. Moreover the correlation between the fractal dimension and the aging time was studied.

본 연구에서는 지형이 위치별로 자기 상사성을 가진다는 전제하에 프랙탈 차원을 이용한 지형의 복잡성을 표현해 보고자 한다. 특히 수치지도 분석기법에서 표면적요소를 산정하여 프랙탈 차원을 산정하도록 한다. 또한 프랙탈 차원과 지형 형상요소들과의 관계를 규명하고, 프랙탈 차원의 통계적 대표치로서의 기능에 대해 고찰해 보려한다. 본 연구에서는 GIS기법을 적용하여 지형의 프랙탈 특성을 구하였다. 길이를 이용하여 하천이나 해안선의 1차원적 프랙탈 특성을 구하는 것에서 벗어나 면적의 개념 즉, 투영면적과 표면적을 이용하여 지형의 2차원적 프랙탈 특성을 구해보았다. 그리고 프랙탈 차원과 평균경사도와의 상관관계를 검토해 보았다. 연구결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻게 되었다. 1) 프랙탈 차원을 구하기 위한 척도로서 표면적을 사용한 경우에서도 일반적 프랙탈 차원의 특성과 같이 지형의 복잡성과 비례관계의 성질을 나타내었다. 2) 본 연구에서 제안한 표면적을 이용한 프랙탈 차원은 영천지역에서는 $2.10{\sim}2.24$이고 의성지역은 $2.02{\sim}2.15$으로 나타났다. 이 값들은 통상 알려진 지형의 프랙탈 차원인 $2.10{\sim}2.20$의 범위에 든다. 3) 평균 경사도와 프랙탈 차원의 상관관계는 평균경사도가 $25^{\circ}$ 이상인 지역에서 결정계수 $R^2$값이 $25^{\circ}$ 이하인 지역에 비해 30% 정도 작아진다. 그러므로 모든 지형의 거침도를 표현하기 위해선 프랙탈 차원이 알맞을 것으로 본다. 본 연구결과를 통해 투영면적과 표면적을 이용한 프랙탈 차원 산정공식이 유효함을 확인하였다. 그러나 본 기법이 충분히 타당성을 인정받기 위해선 연구대상지역의 확대를 통하여 경사도와 표면적, 프랙탈 차원과의 상관관계를 더욱 명확히 할 필요가 있다. 향후 연구에선 지형의 복원에 적용 할 수 있을 것이며 fBm모델을 이용하여 교통류 해석에도 적용이 가능할 것이다.

Irregular shapes and growth behavior of surface micro-crack showed very complex and nonlinear propeties and many investigators have performed theoretical analysesand experiments on them to characterize fatigue strength. They had difficulties in estimating fatigue life due to random distribution, growth and coalescence of surface micro-cracks. The straightness of crack growth along intergranular and transgranular was prevented from irregular microstructure and precipitates. Euclid geometry can't quantify shape of surface micro-crack but ftractal geometry can. Therefore, it is suggested that average fractal dimension of surface micro-cracks is able to estimate fatigue life but fractal dimension of maximum surface micro-crack is not in Al 2024-T3 alloy.

Pavement management systems require systematic monitoring of pavement surfaces to determine preventive and corrective maintenance. The process involves the accumulation of large amounts of visual data, typically obtained from site visitation. The pavement surface condition is then correlated to a pavement distress index that is based on a scoring system previously established by state or federal agencies. The scoring system determines if the pavement section requires maintenance, overlay or reconstruction. One of the surface distresses forming part of the overall pavement distress index is the Alligator Crack Index (AC Index). The AC Index involves the visual evaluation of the crack severity of a section of a pavement as being low, medium, or high. This evaluation is then integrated into a formula in order to obtain the AC Index. In this study a quantification of the visual evaluation of the severity of alligator cracking is carried out using photographs and the fractal dimension concept from fractal theory. Pavements with low levels of cracking were found to have a fractal dimension equal to 1.051. Pavements with moderate levels of cracking had a fractal dimension equal to 1.1754. Pavements with high degrees of cracking had a fractal dimension that varied between 1.5037 (high) and 1.7111 (very high). Pavements with a level of cracking equal to 1.8976 represented pavements that disintegrated and developed potholes. Thus, the visual evaluation of the state of cracking of a pavement (the AC Index) could be enhanced with the use of the fractal dimension concept from fractal theory.
