Application of Fractal Analysis Methods to Study Deformation and Destruction Mechanisms of Epoxy Polymer Samples Under Tensile Stresses

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 suggested.
