(2016-08-05)Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed the Pavement Analysis using Nonlinear Damage Approach (PANDA) for predicting the performance of asphalt concrete mixtures. PANDA offers substantial improvements in mechanistic ...
-
(2022-07-04)Asphalt binder is an intrinsically heterogenous material that consists of various chemical groups and structures. Asphalt heterogeneity is further exasperated in modified asphalt binders, which incorporate chemical and/or ...
-
(2012-04-17)The process by which to utilize an atomic force microscope (AFM) to measure the viscoelastic properties of a given material through indentation experiments is implemented. The difficulties faced regarding both the data ...
-
(2012-11-16)Three kinds of propagating waves physically admissible in a tubular section are derived to establish their dispersion characteristics in response to the presence of multi-layered viscoelastic coatings. One is the longitudinal ...
-
(2020-11-11)This study presents a thermodynamics framework for describing responses of viscoelastic materials undergoing microstructural changes when exposed to mechanical loadings. The constitutive models are derived based on multiple ...
-
(2011-02-22)The existence of polymer constituent in piezoelectric fiber composites (PFCs) could lead to significant viscoelastic behaviors, affecting overall performance of PFCs. High mechanical and electrical stimuli often generate ...
