Abstract: The authors advanced a new conception the area effect of fractal figures and deduced formulae for the fractal dimensions of three kinds of figures. Because of this effect, some false dimensions may be obtained in the slit island method for measuring material's toughness. So a new method without area effect is proposed.

Key words: fractal, fractal dimension, toughness
