(2012-10-08)Rutting is one of the major distresses in asphalt pavements and it increases road roughness and traps water, which leads to wet-weather accidents due to the loss of tire-pavement friction and hydroplaning. The fundamental ...

(2015-05-01)Oxidative aging is known to be one of the main contributors to reducing the service life of asphalt pavements. Asphalt concrete becomes stiffer and more brittle when it reacts with oxygen. The aged asphalt pavement is more ...

(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)In polymer matrix composites (PMCs) manufacturing processes can induce de- fects, e.g., voids, fiber misalignment, irregular fiber distribution in the cross-section and broken fibers. The effects of such defects can be ...

(2010-07-14)Most e orts on High Temperature Shape Memory Alloys (HTSMAs), have focused on improving their work characteristics by thermomechanical treatment methods. However, the in uence of transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) ...

(2019-11-30)In this dissertation, the concept of seismically resilient bridge columns with polyurethane (PU)-enhanced damage-resistant (DR) joints and replaceable energy dissipating (ED) links is proposed. The proposed system introduces ...

(2012-10-19)Time- and rate-dependent materials such as polymers, bituminous materials, and soft materials clearly display all four fundamental responses (i.e. viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, viscodamage, and healing) where contribution ...
