Experimental results indicate that propagation paths of cracks in geomaterials are often irregular, producing rough fracture surfaces which are fractal. A formula is derived for the fractal kinematics of crack propagation in geomaterials. The formula correlates the dynamic and static fracture toughn

The problem we consider is to understand why nature gives rise to fractal structures. The first step is to formulate models of fractal growth based on physical mechanisms like the Diffusion Limited Aggregation and the more general Dielectric Breakdown Model. They are based on a simple iterative proc
Axial growth of plant roots can be modeled as the deformation of a one-dimensional continuum. In this study we present a theory of root elongation that incorporates different roles of cell division in the meristem and axial growth in the elongation region in overall root extension. The meristem is i
