This paper shows that the fractal dimension D m as determined by the perimeter-area relation is not the intrinsic fractal dimension D 0 of a fractured metal surface. The measured value of D m depends on the length of the yardstick used to measure the perimeter and has a quantitative relation with D 0. When the yardstick is small enough, D m approaches D 0. It is also shown that the origin of the negative correlation between D m and toughness of materials is that the yardstick used by many authors for measuring D m is too large. As we expected, a positive correlation is obtained when the length of the yardstick becomes smaller than a critical length of the side of the Koch generation. It seems hopeful to use fractals to characterize fractured surfaces with which material parameters can be correlated.
