The chaotic nature of the trajectories in a mapping related to a discrete structural link model is quantified using the numerical techniques of fractal analysis. The results presented are for localized buckling (homoclinic) solutions for a rigid link model supported by linear-elastic springs, which has been shown to be of importance to problems in elastic instability analysis. This type of study...
