Abstract:Chaos Theory is a mathematical theory devoted to study dynamic systems presenting very peculiar characteristics -sensitivity to initial conditions, positive or close to zero Lyapunov exponents, statistics governed by gaussian or non-gaussian distributions, among otherswhich make them, in the long run, unpredictable in time and space. This article aims at applying Chaos Theory to rockfall phenomenon. More precisely, the fall of unstable rock blocks was simulated through the RocFall 6.0 program by four prelimina… Show more
