Abstract: The microfabric discrete element modeling (MDEM) approach is used herein to predict the asphalt mixture complex modulus in extension/compression across a range of test temperatures and load frequencies. The method allows ...

Abstract: This work investigates the elastic fields which develop in an overlay bonded to a rigid substrate when the system is subjected to thermally induced stress. A two-dimensional solution of the displacement field is derived ...

Abstract: By means of a fundamental solution for a single inhomogeneity embedded in a functionally graded material matrix, a self-consistent model is proposed to investigate the effective thermal conductivity ...
