Journal Article
Imre, E., Talata, I., Barreto, D., Datcheva, M., Baille, W., Georgiev, I., …Lőrincz, J. (2022)
Some Notes on Granular Mixtures with Finite, Discrete Fractal Distribution. Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering, 66(1), 179-192. https://doi.org/10.3311/ppci.19103
Why fractal distribution is so frequent? It is true that fractal dimension is always less than 3? Why fractal dimension of 2.5 to 2.9 seems to be steady-state or stable? Why t...
