How to Calculate and Solve for Apparent Length of Profile | Polymer Deformation
Last Updated on December 11, 2021
The image above represents apparent length of profile.
To compute for apparent length of profile, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Constant for Dimension of Length (Lo), Measurement Unit (η) and Fractal Dimension (D).
The formula for calculating apparent length of profile:
L(η) = Loη-(D – 1)
Where:
L(η) = Apparent Length of Profile
Lo = Constant for Dimension of Length
η = Measurement Unit
D = Fractal Dimension
Let’s solve an example;
Find the apparent length of profile when the constant for dimension of length is 10, the measurement unit is 2 and the fractal dimension is 4.
This implies that;
Lo = Constant for Dimension of Length = 10
η = Measurement Unit = 2
D = Fractal Dimension = 4
L(η) = Loη-(D – 1)
L(η) = 10(2)-(4 – 1)
L(η) = 10(2)-(3)
L(η) = 10(2)-3
L(η) = 10(0.125)
L(η) = 1.25
Therefore, the apparent length of profile is 1.25 m.
