Mechanical Attributes of Fractal Dragons
Fractals are ubiquitous natural emergences that have gained increased
attention in engineering applications, thanks to recent technological
advancements enabling the fabrication of structures spanning across many
spatial scales. We show how the geometries of fractals can be exploited to
determine their important mechanical properties, such as the first and second
moments, which physically correspond to the center of mass and the moment of
inertia, using a family of complex fractals known as the dragons
