Study of Simulation Test in Inclusion Rockburst by Zhidong Wang, Liyun Li, Bingquan Liu, Chuang Han, Tianxiang Lan

“…The inclusions have cementation, and the better the cementation, the greater the stress loading required in the failure, the greater the energy accumulated, the more severe the failure, and the higher the fractal dimension of the fragments. The larger the angle of the inclusion tip, the greater the stress loading in failure; the greater the change of the u and v displacements, the more the displacement of the inclusions changed; and the more the energy accumulated, the higher the fractal dimension of the fragment. …”

Underwater Acoustic Image Encoding Based on Interest Region and Correlation Coefficient by Liu Lixin, Guo Feng, Wu Jinqiu

“…It is difficult for the conventional image compression method to achieve good compression effect in the underwater acoustic image (UWAI), because the UWAI has large amount of noise and low correlation between pixel points. In this paper, fractal coding is introduced into UWAI compression, and a fractal coding algorithm based on interest region is proposed according to the importance of different regions in the image. …”
