Abstract

The model of fractal continuum accounting the topological, metric, and dynamic properties of deformable physical fractal medium is suggested. The kinematics of fractal continuum deformation is developed. The corresponding geometric interpretations are provided. The concept of stresses in the fractal continuum is defined. The conservation of linear and angular momentums is established. The mapping of mechanical problems for physical fractal media into the corresponding problems for fractal continuum is discussed.
