This book delves into the realm of learning and applying nonlinear geometry tools in rock engineering through the lens of fractal theories, hypotheses, algorithms, practical understandings, and case studies. A fundamental prerequisite for the fractal model in rock mechanics is a grasp of self-similarity and self-affinity. The primary objective of this book is to serve as a guide for readers who aspire to comprehend and develop nonlinear models through fractal algorithms. Motivated by recent remarkable advancements in rock engineering in China, particularly the integration of fractal theory alongside percolation theory, this authored work takes a comprehensive and systematic approach to addressing the challenges associated with nonlinear behavior in rock engineering.

The book is meticulously crafted to encompass two key chapters. The first chapter focuses on introducing novel fractal algorithms, while the second chapter presents five engineering cases that exemplify the practical applications of fractal theory in rock engineering. This book is of utmost importance to researchers and practitioners in the fields of rock and geological engineering, as well as organizations involved in underground energy practices.

By leveraging the power of fractal theory, this book offers a valuable resource for understanding and navigating the complex dynamics of rock behavior, enabling engineers to develop more efficient and sustainable solutions for challenging geological environments.
