Abstract :
Fractal theory is applied to study fractal characteristics of sand-pile structure. It has been found that with the gradual increase of the non-uniform degree, the one-sided slope sand-pile experiment presented the different phenomena and statistical results. In order to explain this phenomenon, the cellular automata model describing non-uniform coefficient and fractal fabric characteristics was designed. Based on the ideal of bi-stable model, there were two kinds of cellular with different action rules and different ranges, in which one submitted to fractal distribution, the other submitted to interval arrangement. Through simulation it was found sand-pile model took on Selforganized criticality (SOC) when cellular arrangement submitted to fractal distribution. Simulation result was the same as assumption. The criterion of SOC based on the simulation of fractal cellular automata model was discussed.
