(2020-11-17)Design and material selection of bituminous mixtures (asphalt concrete) have a decisive role in mixture and pavement performance. Traditionally, the design of the mixtures has focused on the volumetric fractions of components. ...

Approximate solution for a rolling contact problem over a relatively general viscoelastic half-space (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)An approximate method is developed to predict the coefficient of friction and normal load for the problem of a rigid circular cylinder moving across a relatively general viscoelastic half-space with constant velocity. The ...

(2013-09-30)When oil prices rise, politicians often call for improvements in energy efficiency or policies that they hope will make the U.S. more “energy independent.” The argument is that if we consume less oil, domestic supplies ...

(2011-08-02)In this dissertation, we use the second law of thermodynamics to find restrictions on the Gibbs potential so that there can be no dissipation associated with the deformation, in any process. We find that the use of the ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The structural analysis and the selection of the performance models are the two most important steps in pavement performance analysis and they significantly affect the prediction of pavement distress. The nonlinear elasticity ...
