Some Practical Aspects of Fractal Simulation of a Structure of Nano-Composite Material

Some practical aspects of the fractal simulation of a structure of nono-modified concretes containig serpentinite, wollastonite, schungite, and meta-kaolin are considered for the purpose to apply them for solving optimization problems. Two fractal characteristics of the micro-structure of nano-modified concretes are studied; they are fractal dimension D and lacunarity L with the use of the ImagelJ program with a set extension (plugin) FracLac. It is established that the value of fractal dimension is more significantly invariant than lacunarity. It is shown that the important feature is the fact that when ranking results according to fractal dimension and lacunarity, the sequence order of nano-modifiers doesn’t change at various enlargements and adjustments. The applied methods for using the fractal analysis for simulation of the structure of composite materials is standardized and can be suitable for the description of similar characteristics of other objects of this kind.
