Abstract: This paper studies the thermal cracking of asphalt-concrete pavements using a semianalytical model that accounts for the multiscale nature of the thermal cracking phenomenon, the viscoelasticity of asphalt-concrete, and ...

Abstract: This paper develops a model to simulate the distributed thermal cracking of concrete structures with frictional constraint. This model is developed primarily for the thermal cracking asphalt-concrete (AC) pavement structures; ...

Abstract: This study used a combined experimental and modeling approach to characterize and quantify the interaction among bullet, body armor, and human surrogate targets during the 10–1000 μs range that ...

Abstract: This study developed and validated finite element (FE) models of swine and human thoraxes and abdomens that had subject-specific anatomies and could accurately and efficiently predict body responses ...
