Department of Civil Engineering, Laboratory of Steel Structures, Aristotle University, 54006, Thessaloniki, Greece aut Fractals and fractal approximation in structural mechanics [Elektronische Daten] [P. Panagiotopoulos] The present paper presents several new applications of the theory of fractals in structural mechanics. Until now most of the existing applications of the theory of fractals concern the calculation of fractal dimensions in physical phenomena, especially with respect to dynamical systems. The present paper deals with several other aspects of the theory of fractals which, from the standpoint of mechanics, seem to be of greater importance. Indeed the methods of fractal analysis permit the formulation and solution of difficult or yet unsolved mechanical problems or their treatment from an entirely new point of view. This paper is a first attempt towards this direction.
