Abstract: Oxidative hardening or aging of asphalt binder can lead to increase in viscosity, separation of components, loss of cohesion and adhesion, and eventually the degraded engineering performances. A common practice to minimize ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new discretize-then-optimize (DTO) method for dynamic force inversion in a two-dimensional (2D) linear elastic, damped solid based on Runge–Kutta (RK) explicit time integration. Previous literature ...
