摘要
Arguments related to the dependence of the strength of solids on mechanics or to the geometry of material are discussed. Scaling laws on the strength of solids usually ignore geometry and are studied by applying mechanics, fracture mechanics for elasto-brittle materials or strain-gradient plasticity for elasto-plastic materials. It is shown that scaling laws are connected to the geometrical and multiscale character of the domain in which the energy exchange occurs. It was found that energy dissipation take place not over a euclidean domain but on a fractal domain, which is always included within euclidean surfaces and volumes.
