Applying the Fractal Analysis Methods for the Study of the Mechanisms of Deformation and Destruction of Polymeric Material Samples Affected by Tensile Stresses

Abstract:

The paper proposes an approach to study the mechanism of deformation of epoxy polymers based on the methods of fractal calculations. The advantages of the method for determining the fractality index of the deformation curves of polymer samples using the minimum coverage method are shown. An algorithm for the quantitative determination of the location of the "critical" points of the deformation curves of polymer samples under tension is proposed. It is shown that the use of the developed methodology for the fractal analysis of time series on the basis of a set of points of deformation curves of epoxy polymer samples under tension, provides valuable information about the processes occurring in the structure of composite materials affected by mechanical loads and various aggressive factors.
