Abstract: A comprehensive study was conducted to investigate the influence of various factors on the fracture properties of asphalt mixtures obtained from three different asphalt layers for serving asphalt pavements. The fracture ...

Abstract: Porous asphalt pavement have been widely employed for various functions. However, due to its large voids and small contact area between particles, the reflective cracks results from semirigid base layer shrinkage cracking ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional compressible flow model is presented to study the occurrence of weak rotating waves in vaneless diffusers of centrifugal compressors. The diffuser considered has two parallel ...

Abstract: A 3D compressible flow model was presented in Part I of the paper to study the occurrence of weak rotating waves in vaneless diffusers of centrifugal compressors. In this paper, detailed ...

Abstract: Transverse cracking is one of the major distresses of asphalt pavements with a semirigid base. After subjected to the loading, aging, and other factors, the materials properties of in-service asphalt pavements are quite ...
