Применение древесины осины в промышленном производстве материалов и изделий ограничено из-за ее низких механических свойств, подверженности поражению коррозионно-деструктивной гнили, отсутствием должного обоснования технологии ее переработки. Невостребованная осина осложняет условия хозяйствования в лесу, ухудшает породный состав древостоев, препятствует восстановлению хвойных пород древесины. Древесина осины хуже смачивается водой по сравнению с другими породами. Изучение ее поверхностных свойств и строения на микроуровне представляет безусловный интерес для изучения взаимодействия древесины с водой, жидкими клеящими и защитно-декоративными веществами. Это сложная многопараметрическая задача, решение которой может явиться новым инструментом для обоснования наукоемких технологических процессов сушки, пропитки, склеивания и облагораживания древесины. Истинная поверхность древесины, образованная в результате обработки резанием (лущением, пилением, фрезерованием) значительно больше ее проекции на плоскости в результате разрезания микроструктурных элементов. Неровности на поверхности искажают результаты измерения поверхностных свойств, определяемых на основе угла смачивания. Учитывая то, что размеры стенок клеток меньше размеров полостей, истинная площадь поверхности древесины, в зависимости от вида разреза, может в десятки раз превышать кажущуюся. Ухудшение способности смачиваться объясняет образование на поверхности капель клея, нанесенного на шпон методом вальцевания. При горячем прессовании фанеры в первый момент времени повышается подвижность молекул клея, снижается упругость древесины, поверхность выравнивается, улучшая условия адгезионного взаимодействия связующего и древесины. Для определения истинных характеристик древесины, обоснования расхода клея, способности древесины поглощать жидкость необходимо знать размеры ее микроструктурных элементов и характер их распределения, объем поверхностных полостей. Эффективный радиус полостей древесины осины может быть описан с использованием теории фракталов. The use of aspen wood in manufacturing of materials and products is limited due to its low mechanical properties, corrosion susceptibility destructive lesion decay, its lack of proper justification processing technology. Unclaimed aspen difficult economic conditions in the forest, degrades the species composition of forest stands and prevents restoration of softwood. Wood aspen worse moistened with water compared to other breeds. The study of its structure and surface properties at the micro level is of great interest to study the interaction of wood with water, liquid adhesives and protective-decorative materials. This is the problem whose solution can be a new tool for the study of science-intensive technological processes of drying, impregnation, gluing and surface finishes. Real wood surface, formed by the machining (peeling, sawing, milling) significantly greater its projection on the plane as a result of cutting the microstructural elements. Surface irregularities distort the results of measurement of surface properties which are determined based on the contact angle. Given that the size of the cell walls is less than the size of the cavities, the true surface area of the veneer, depending on the type of incision, may be ten times the apparent. The deterioration of the ability of wetted explains the formation of droplets on the surface of adhesive deposited on the veneer by rolling. When plywood hot pressing at a first time increases mobility of adhesive molecules, decreases the modulus of elasticity of wood, surface is aligned, improving the conditions of interaction of the glue and the wood. To determine the true characteristics of the wood, glue flow study, the ability of wood to absorb liquid it is necessary to know the size of microstructural elements and their distribution, the amount of surface cavities. The effective radius of aspen wood cavities can be described using fractal theory.

AbstractTo investigate the influence of the fissure morphology on the dynamic mechanical properties of the rock and the crack propagation, a drop hammer impact test device was used to conduct impact failure tests on sandstones with different fissure numbers and fissure dips, simultaneously recorded the crack growth after each impact. The box fractal dimension is used to quantitatively analyze the dynamic change in the sandstone cracks and a fractal model of crack growth over time is established based on fractal theory. The results demonstrate that under impact test conditions of the same mass and different heights, the energy absorbed by sandstone accounts for about 26.7% of the gravitational potential energy. But at the same height and different mass, the energy absorbed by the sandstone accounts for about 68.6% of the total energy. As the fissure dip increases and the number of fissures increases, the dynamic peak stress and dynamic elastic modulus of the fractured sandstone gradually decrease. The fractal dimensions of crack evolution tend to increase with time as a whole and assume as a parabolic. Except for one fissure, 60° and 90° specimens, with the extension of time, the increase rate of fractal dimension is decreasing correspondingly.

A colloidal damper (CD) can dissipate a significant amount of vibrations and impact energy owing to the interface power that is generated when it is used. It is of great practical significance to study the influence of the nanochannel structure of hydrophobic silica gel in the CD damping medium on the running speed of the CD. The fractal theory was applied to observe the characteristics of the micropore structure of the hydrophobic silica gel by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the primary particles were selected to carry out fractal analysis, and the two-dimensional fractal dimension of the pore area and the tortuous fractal dimension of the hydrophobic silica gel pore structure were calculated. The fractal percolation model of water in hydrophobic silica nanochannels based on the slip theory could thus be obtained. This model revealed the relationship between the micropore structure parameters of the silica gel and the running speed of the CD. The CD running speed increases with the addition of grafted molecules and the reduction in pore size of the silica gel particles. Continuous loading velocity testing of the CD loaded with hydrophobic silica gels with different pore structures was conducted. By comparing the experimental results with the calculation results of the fractal percolation model, it was determined that the fractal percolation model can better characterize the change trend of the CD running velocity for the first loading, but the fractal dimension was changed from the second loading, caused by the small amount of water retained in the nanochannel, leading to the failure of fractal characterization.

This paper applies fractal theory to research of green space in megacity parks due to the lack of a sufficient qualitative description of the scale structure of park green space, a quantifiable evaluation system, and operable planning methods in traditional studies. Taking Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen as examples, GIS spatial analysis technology and the Zipf model are used to calculate the fractal dimension (q), the goodness of fit (R2), and the degree of difference (C) to deeply interpret the connotation of indicators and conduct a comparative analysis between cities to reveal fractal characteristics and laws. The research results show that (1) the fractal dimension is related to the complexity of the park green space system; (2) the fractal dimension characterizes the hierarchical iteration of the park green space to a certain extent and reflects the internal order of the scale distribution; (3) the scale distribution of green space in megacity parks deviates from the ideal pyramid configuration; and (4) there are various factors affecting the scale structure of park green space, such as natural base conditions, urban spatial structure, and the continuation of historical genes working together. On this basis, a series of targeted optimization strategies are proposed.

A flame front is quenched when approaching a cold wall due to excessive heat loss. Accurate computation of combustion rate in such situations requires accounting for near wall flame quenching. Combustion models, developed without considering wall effects, cannot be used for wall bounded combustion modelling, as it leads to wall flame acceleration problem. In this work, a new model was developed to estimate the near wall combustion rate, accommodating quenching effects. The developed correlation was then applied to predict the combustion in two spark ignition engines in combination with the famous Bray–Moss–Libby (BML) combustion model. BML model normally fails when applied to wall bounded combustion due to flame wall acceleration. Results show that the proposed quenching correlation has significantly improved the performance of BML model in wall bounded combustion. As a second step, in order to further enhance the performance, the BML model was modified with the use of Kolmogorov–Petrovski–Piskunov analysis and fractal theory. In which, a new dynamic formulation is proposed to evaluate the mean flame wrinkling scale, there by accounting for spatial inhomogeneity of turbulence. Results indicate that the combination of the quenching correlation and the modified BML model has been successful in eliminating wall flame acceleration problem, while accurately predicting in-cylinder pressure rise, mass burn rates and heat release rates.
