Abstract

In this paper Movable Cellular Automata and fractal geometry are applied to examine defects growth in porous ceramic specimens.The Movable Cellular Automata method is applied in numerical simulations of compression loading of ceramic specimens. It allows a continuous monitoring material processes and gives physical picture of defects over the meso- and macroscopic range of scales, at any stage of evolution.The entire structure of defects enclosed in macroscopic volume is treated as a single fractal and described by means of fractals with fractal dimension and measure.
