Abstract: Permanent deformation is one of the major distresses in asphalt pavements. It is caused mainly by high traffic loads associated with high field temperatures. An anisotropic viscoplastic continuum damage model is developed ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a methodology for microstructure analysis and modeling of hot mix asphalt (HMA). This methodology relies on using effective local material properties and strain gradient theory in the ...

Abstract: The stability of short-range reactions between two dislocations of parallel line vectors which glide on two parallel slip planes in BCC crystals is determined. The two dislocations are assumed ...
