The fractal dimension is the characteristics that can quantitatively define the irregularity in natural. It is useful in describing the morphology or various rubbed surface for hydraulic piston motor instead of the stylus profiling method. But fractal parameters had not constructed on the morphological characteristic or rubbed surface because of the insufficient knowledge about a conception of fractal dimension. In this study, for the purpose or applying fractal I parameters practically, we have suggested way to establish the morphological characteristic of rubbed surface with fractal parameters, and we carried out an experiment on the lubricant friction and wear by using Ball-ON-Disk type tester. Materials were the brass and the bronze which are used to slipper-pad in the hydraulic piston motor. We searched for fractal parameters or surface structure with the digital image processing, Surface fractal dimension can be determined by sum of intensity difference of surface pixel. Using the image processing and fractal parameters for rubbed surface in the friction and wear test, morphology of rubbed sur race can be effectively obtained by fractal dimensions.

The fractal dimension is quantitatively to define the irregular characteristic of the shape in natural. It can be useful in describing morphological characteristics of various wear particles. This paper was undertaken to diagnose failure condition for sliding members in lubrication by fractal dimension. It will be possible to diagnose wear mechanism, friction and damage state of machines through analysis of shape characteristics for wear particle on driving condition by fractal parameters. In this study, the calculating and analyzing methods of fractal dimensions were constructed for the condition monitoring and wear particle analysis in lubricant condition. So, we carried out the Friction and wear test with the ball on disk type tester, and the fractal parameters of wear particle in lubricated conditions were calculated. Fractal parameters were defined as texture fractal dimension ($D_{t}$), structure fractal dimension ($D_{s}$) and total fractal dimension (D).

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.

Recent developments in fractal theory suggest that fractal may provide a more realistic representation of characteristics of cementitious materials. In this paper, the roughness of fracture surfaces in cementitious material has been characterized by fractal theory. A systematic experimental investigation was carried out to examine the dependency of fracture parameters on the aggregate sizes as well as the loading rates. Three maximum aggregate sizes (4.76 mm, 12.7 mm, and 19.1 mm) and two loading rates (slow and fast loading rate) were used. A total of 25 compression tests and 25 tension tests were performed. All fracture parameters exhibited an increase, to varying degrees, when aggregates were added to the mortar matrix. The fracture surfaces of the specimens were digitized and analyzed. Results of the fractal analysis suggested that concrete fracture surfaces exhibit fractal characteristics, and the fractal geometry provide a useful tool for characterizing nonlinear fracture behavior of concrete. Fractal dimension D was monotonically increased as maximum aggregate sizes increase. A new fractal fracture model was developed which considers the size and shape of aggregate, and the crack paths in the constituent phases. Detailed analyses were given for four different types of fracture paths. The fractal fracture model can estimate fractal dimension for multiphase composites.

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.

해상도를 고려하는 GIUH 모형에 대한 적용과 분석을 평창강 유역의 소유역인 이목정유역에 대하여 수행하였다. 모형의 적용과 Fractal 분석을 위해 1:25,000, 1:50,000 그리고 1:100,000 축척의 지도를 이용하였다. 따라서 축척간의 비율이 일정한 값을 갖는다. 링크의 길이는 해상도 1mm의 구장기를 이용하였고 Fractal 차원은 Richardson 방법을 사용하였다. 지도의 축척에 따라 매개변수들의 현저한 변화를 발견하였으며 이러한 경향은 매개변수의 물리적 의미를 상실하게 한다. 그런데 Fractal 변환과 의 Melton지형법칙은 이러한 규모문제를 효과적으로 조정해주는 역할을 할 수 있다. 그리고 이 방법은 하도망과 유역간의 연관성을 모형에 반영할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이 연구에서 제안한 GIUH의 적용성을 검증하기 위해 지수형 GIUH 모형과 비교하였다. 그 결과 제안된 2모수 gamma GIUH 모형이 좋은 재현성을 보였다. 따라서 Fractal 이론을 도입한 2모수 gamma GIUH 모형은 축척을 고려하는 IUH를 유도하는데 있어서 적절하다고 할 수 있다.

Fractal antenna arrays are geometry-based thinned arrays having multiband applications. The major challenge of these arrays is their large number of elements at higher expansion factors. This article presents the thinning of fractal antenna arrays while maintaining an appropriate balance between the side lobe level and beam width by using various quantized fractal distribution functions. A 2D square fractal antenna array and 3DSierpinski gasket antenna array are considered in this article to validate the proposed distribution functions. Nearly one third of the antenna elements are thinned in each successive iteration except in the case of a one-count distribution function. The proposed technique can simplify practical implementation and exhibits better performance for various parameters such as the side lobe level, side lobe angle, and half power beam width than fully populated fractal antenna arrays.

균열 암반내 지하수 흐름은 공간적으로 불규칙하게 분포하는 균열 발달 상태에 영향을 받으므로 균질의 등방성 피압 대수층에 적용이 가능한 Theis식으로는 균열 암반 대수층의 수리지질학적 특성을 똑바로 이해할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 지하수 흐름의 프락탈(Fractal)모델을 발전시킨 누수를 포함하는 프락탈모델의 이론적은 배경 및 수리상수 산출 방법을 제시하고,개발된 모델을 야외자료에 적용시켰다. 상기 모델은 홍천과 유성지역에서 수행된 양수시험 자료에 적용시킨 결과, 동일한 수리상수 값으로 양수정과 관측정에서의 관측된 수위하강 곡선과 이론적인 수위하강 곡선이 잘 일치하는 결과를 얻었다. 홍천 지역과 유성 지역의 시험공 주위의 프락탈 차원은 1.9로 구해졌으며, 이것은 이들 지역의 지하수 흐름이 2차원보다 약간 작은 프락탈 차원을 보인다는 것을 지시한다.

In this paper, we carried out some experiments on the Korean vowel recognition using the fractal dimension of the speech signals. We chose the Mincowski-Bouligand dimensioni as the fractal dimension, and computed it using the morphological covering method. For our experiments, we used both the fractal dimension and the LPC cepstrum which is conventionally known to be one of the best parameters for speech recognition, and examined the usefulness of the fractal dimension. From the vowel recognition experiments under various consonant contexts, we achieved the vowel recognition error rats of 5.6% and 3.2% for the case with only LPC cepstrum and that with both LPC cepstrum and the fractal dimension, respectively. The results indicate that the incorporation of the fractal dimension with LPC cepstrum gies more than 40% reduction in recognition errors, and indicates that the fractal dimension is a useful feature parameter for speech recognition.
