Abstract: One of the primary structural distress modes found in bituminous pavement layers is fatigue cracking, resulting from repeated application of traffic-induced stresses. The development of a four-point bending test arrangement ...

Abstract: When a block made of an elastomer is subjected to a large shear, its surface remains flat. When a block of biological soft tissue is subjected to a large shear, it is likely that its ...

Abstract: The classical flexure problem of nonlinear incompressible elasticity is revisited assuming that the bending angle suffered by the block is specified instead of the usual applied moment. The ...

Abstract: When constructing laboratory samples of bituminous mixture that are intended to have the same characteristics as the in situ pavement layer, the most important factor to consider is compaction. It is widely accepted that ...
