Fractal fracture

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1992, vol. 191, issue 1, 208-212

Abstract: The propagation of a crack can be considered as a moving boundary problem. Linear analysis shows that under some circumstances instability occurs constituting the basis for fractal growth. If the conditions are anisotropic, the crack becomes self-affine. Experiments on breaking paper sheets under tensile stress are described and the obtained lines analysed from the fractal point of view.
