The two-dimensional multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis is applied to reveal the multifractal properties of the fracture surfaces of foamed polypropylene/polyethylene blends at different temperatures. Nice power-law scaling relationship between the detrended fluctuation function $F_{q}$ and the scale $s$ is observed for different orders $q$ and the scaling exponent $h(q)$ is found to be a nonlinear function of $q$, confirming the presence of multifractality in the fracture surfaces. The multifractal spectra $f(alpha)$ are obtained numerically through Legendre transform. The shape of the multifractal spectrum of singularities can be well captured by the width of spectrum $Deltaalpha$ and the difference of dimension $Delta f$. With the increase of the PE content, the fracture surface becomes more irregular and complex, as is manifested by the facts that $Deltaalpha$ increases and $Delta f$ decreases from positive to negative. A qualitative interpretation is provided based on the foaming process.

We study the fracture surface of three dimensional samples through a model for quasi-static fractures known as Born Model. We find for the roughness exponent a value of 0.5 expected for ``small length scales in microfracturing experiments. Our simula
tions confirm that at small length scales the fracture can be considered as quasi-static. The isotropy of the roughness exponent on the crack surface is also shown. Finally, considering the crack front, we compute the roughness exponents for longitudinal and transverse fluctuations of the crack line (both 0.5). They result in agreement with experimental data, and supports the possible application of the model of line depinning in the case of long-range interactions.
The orthorhombic boride crystal family XYB$_{14}$, where X and Y are metal atoms, plays a critical role in a unique class of superhard compounds, yet there have been no studies aimed at understanding the origin of the mechanical strength of this comp
ound. We present here the results from a comprehensive investigation into the fracture strength of the archetypal AlLiB$_{14}$ crystal. First-principles, textit{ab initio}, methods are used to determine the ideal brittle cleavage strength for several high-symmetry orientations. The elastic tensor and the orientation-dependent Youngs modulus are calculated. From these results the lower bound fracture strength of AlLiB$_{14}$ is predicted to be between 29 and 31 GPa, which is near the measured hardness reported in the literature. These results indicate that the intrinsic strength of AlLiB$_{14}$ is limited by the interatomic B--B bonds that span between the B layers.
In this paper we investigate the multifractal decomposition of the limit set of a finitely generated, free Fuchsian group with respect to the mean cusp winding number. We will completely determine its multifractal spectrum by means of a certain free
energy function and show that the Hausdorff dimension of sets consisting of limit points with the same scaling exponent coincides with the Legendre transform of this free energy function. As a by-product we generalise previously obtained results on the multifractal formalism for infinite iterated function systems to the setting of infinite graph directed Markov systems.
In this paper we present a classical Monte Carlo simulation of the orthorhombic phase of crystalline polyethylene, using an explicit atom force field with unconstrained bond lengths and angles and periodic boundary conditions. We used a recently deve
loped algorithm which apart from standard Metropolis local moves employs also global moves consisting of displacements of the center of mass of the whole chains in all three spatial directions as well as rotations of the chains around an axis parallel to the crystallographic c-direction. Our simulations are performed in the NpT ensemble, at zero pressure, and extend over the whole range of temperatures in which the orthorhombic phase is experimentally known to be stable (10 - 450 K). In order to investigate the finite-size effects in this extremely anisotropic crystal, we used different system sizes and different chain lengths, ranging from C_12 to C_96 chains, the total number of atoms in the super-cell being between 432 and 3456. We show here the results for structural parameters, such as the orthorhombic cell parameters a,b,c, and the setting angle of the chains, as well as internal parameters of the chains, such as the bond lengths and angles. Among thermodynamic quantities, we present results for thermal expansion coefficients, elastic constants and specific heat. We discuss the temperature dependence of the measured quantities as well as the related finite-size effects. In case of lattice parameters and thermal expansion coefficients, we compare our results to those obtained from other theoretical approaches as well as to some available experimental data. We also suggest some possible ways of extending this study.
Many real-world complex systems have small-world topology characterized by the high clustering of nodes and short path lengths.It is well-known that higher clustering drives localization while shorter path length supports delocalization of the eigenv
ectors of networks. Using multifractals technique, we investigate localization properties of the eigenvectors of the adjacency matrices of small-world networks constructed using Watts-Strogatz algorithm. We find that the central part of the eigenvalue spectrum is characterized by strong multifractality whereas the tail part of the spectrum have Dq->1. Before the onset of the small-world transition, an increase in the random connections leads to an enhancement in the eigenvectors localization, whereas just after the onset, the eigenvectors show a gradual decrease in the localization. We have verified an existence of sharp change in the correlation dimension at the localization-delocalization transition
