Performance of Compound Modified Asphalt Mixture in Steel Deck Pavement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To cope with the deficiency of high temperature stability in early damages for steel deck pavement, based on theory of polymer modification, three polymer modifiers were used to develop a new material for steel deck pavement ...
Pullout Resistance of Beaded Fibers in a Polymer Matrix
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Introducing beads on the fibers is a promising design, which can give rise to enhanced strength and toughness of polymer matrix composites. In this study, we propose a computational model for fracture of the composites ...
A Numerical Study of Crack Penetration and Deflection at the Interface Between Peritubular and Intertubular Dentin
