Fractal and Fractional in Geomaterials - Hardcover

by Yifei Sun (Guest Editor), Cheng Chen (Guest Editor), Meisam Goudarzy (Guest Editor)

This reprint focuses on the recent progress on fractal and fractional methods in characterizing the physical and mechanical behaviors of geomaterials. Special attention is given to the fractal laws for contact networks/pore structures in soft and granular soils, numerical and theoretical aspects of fractional mechanics for geomaterial with local/nonlocal deformation, anomalous diffusion and conduction phenomena, among others.
