A numerical technique for simulating the aggregation of charged particles was presented with a Brownian dynamic simulation in the free molecular regime. The Langevin equation was used for tracking each particle making up an aggregate. A periodic boundary condition was used for calculation of the aggregation process in each cell with 500 primary particles of 16 nm in diameter. We considered the thermal force and the electrostatic force for the calculation of the particle motion. The morphological shape of aggregates was described in terms of the fractal dimension. The fractal dimension for the uncharged aggregate was $D_{f}=1.761$. The fractal dimension changed slightly for the various amounts of bipolar charge. However, in case of unipolar charge, the fractal dimension decreased from 1.641 to 1.537 with the increase of the average number of charges on the particles from 0.2 to 0.3 in initial states.

To get the realistic deformation of fractal objects in computer games, fractal-like deformation property should be added to ordinary continuous deformations. We, here, suggest a fractal-like vector fields producing method using the code and its modification, and some examples are given.

For a method improving fractal image segmentation which is a new application of fractal image coding, YST scheme have proposed an image segmentation scheme using labeling based on periodic points of pixel transformation and error-correction of labels by iterating fractal transformation. The scheme generates the high quality segmentation, however, it has the redundancy in the process of labeling and correction of labels. To solve this problem, we propose a labeling algorithm based on orbit of pixel transformation and restricted condition on iterating process of fractal transformation.

유방암의 조기진단을 위한 수단으로 Mammography의 x-선 film-screen이 많이 사용된다. 그러나, Mammogram에서 정상조직과 암조직 간의 대조도 차이가 크지 않으므로 판독은 그다지 쉽지가 않다. 이러한 문제들의 해결을 위하여 mammogram의 디지털 화상처리 및 분석 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 진단방사선의들이 필름을 판독할 때 시각적인 인지도를 높여주고, 보다나은 의료지원 서비스의 제공을 위한 목적으로, 유방암의 조기진단의 중요한 요소인 미세석회의 검출을 위한 방법으로서 fractal dimension을 구하여 종괴와 미세석회, 미세석회에 대한 차이를 분석하고자 하였다. 각각의 실험군에 대하여 30명씩 60명의 데이터를 0.1mm resolution의 12bit gray scale로 획득하여 사용하였는데, 일차로 화상의 대조도 개선을 위하여 처리를 하였고 화상의 분석으로 강조된 화상의 불규칙정도 및 거친 정도를 나타내기 위하여 fractal dimension을 계산하였다. 원화상에서 가시적으로 분간하기 힘들었던 병변을 화상처리를 통해 강조된 화상에서는 쉽게 그 특징을 볼 수 있었다. 실제로 mammogram을 진단할 때, 강조화상으로 미세석회와 같은 조기진단의 가시적인 판단을 도모할 수 있으며, 미세석회의 진단에서 fractal dimension값을 이용하여 병변 특성의 하나로서 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Characteristics of tree propagation and fractal dimension in DGEBA/MDA/GN system were investigated. In the GN contents of 0 and 5 phr, tree was not produced. In the GN content of 10 phr, a reversed sigmoidal behaviour was found but in those of 15 and 20 phr, linear behaviors were found. All electrical trees possessed fractal characteristics. Fractal dimensions of epoxy resin system were almost constant with the variation of observation angles. Since dielectric breakdown occurred earlier in the GN content of 20 phr, fractal characteristics of modified epoxy resin system in a particular term couldnt be investigated.

We present the fractal properties of the magnetic domain walls in $(5-{\AA}\;Co_{90}Fe_{10}/10-{\AA}\;Pt)_n$ multilayer films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy for the number of repeats n (1 to 5). In these films, the magnetization reversed due to the domain wall propagation throughout the films with rare nucleations. As n increased, it was observed that the jaggedness of the domain walls increased noticeably, which is possibly due to the accumulation of irregularities at the layer interfaces. The jaggedness of the domain walls was analyzed in terms of the fractal dimension by use of the ruler method, and it was revealed that the fractal dimension significantly changed from $1.0{\pm}0.002$ to $1.3{\pm}0.05$ as n increased from 1 to 5.

Strange attractor can be used as a presentation method for signal processing. Fractal dimension is well known method that extract features from attractor. Even though the method provides powerful capabilities for speech processing, there is drawback which should be solved in advance. Normally, the size of the raw signal should be long enough for processing if we use the fractal dimension method. However, in the area of connected-digits problem, normally, syllable or semi-syllable based processing is applied. In this case, there is no evidence that we have sufficient data or not to extract characteristics of attractor. This paper discusses the relationship between the size of the signal data and the calculation result of fractal dimension, and also discusses the efficient way to be applied to connected-digit recognition.

End milling is available for machining the variable shape of products and has brrn widely applied in many Manufacturing industries. The surface finish of machined parts determines quality and functionality of products. Surface roughness causes friction,noise,fracture, glossiness and seizure, so many research had been performed to precisely. In particular an experimental analysis was carried out to investigate the influence ofsurface roughness on the fractal dimension. This parameter was assumed to contain not only information of roughness but also extra meaning. Experiments which were performed under various cutting conditions to compare fractal dimension with surface roughness R /sab a/ show fractal dimension to be useful parameter for determining of roughness.

Under the interaction between dam body, dam foundation and external environment, the dam structural behavior presents the time-varying nonlinear characteristics. According to the prototypical observations, the correct identification on above nonlinear characteristics is very important for dam safety control. It is difficult to implement the description, analysis and diagnosis for dam structural behavior by use of any linear method. Based on the rescaled range analysis approach, the algorithm is proposed to identify and extract the fractal feature on observed dam structural behavior. The displacement behavior of one actual dam is taken as an example. The fractal long-range correlation for observed displacement behavior is analyzed and revealed. The feasibility and validity of the proposed method is verified. It is indicated that the mechanism evidence can be provided for the prediction and diagnosis of dam structural behavior by using the fractal identification method. The proposed approach has a high potential for other similar applications.

In this paper, we propose "InFra-VC", an interactive Fractal viewer on virtual reality system. Fractal impresses us very much and is expected to model some natural phenomenon effectively. Therefore, their visualization is necessary for us to study their beauty as well as structure. InFra-VC can represents a cutting plane of the fractal figure, so that the user can see and enjoy its internal structure. Moving position of the cutting surface, we can easily understand its internal structure. Additionally, InFra-VC can store situation as VRML format file at any time. This feature enables us to see the structure by a VRML viewer on common PC.
