N2 - The revolution in geometry, which has recently created the notion of the fractional dimension of real world bodies and has formed fractal geometry, has substantially influenced fracture science. An experimentally measured crack in real materials has appeared to be substantially a fractal, that is, a geometrical object of fractional dimension. In the present paper, an attempt has been undertaken to provide an account of some achievements in this area, herein called "Fractal Fracture Mechanics".
