Abstract
In the present paper certain numerical aspects of the theory of fracta ls in structures are presented. The fractal geometry is approximated t hrough the I.F.S. (iterated function system) approach or through the F .I. (fractal interpolation). These approximations of the fractal are c ombined with the methods used in structural analysis in order to calcu late stress and strain fields in fractal structures. All types of stru ctures with convex strain energy are studied.
