Abstract: This study aims to investigate the shear fatigue performance of asphalt mixture and factors influencing performance using a three-dimensional (3D) discrete element method (DEM) incorporated with the Burgers model. The ...

Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the influence of void characteristics on the uniaxial penetration strength (UPS) of asphalt mixtures using a three-dimensional (3D) discrete-element method (DEM). Three models for the uniaxial ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the mechanical response of asphalt surfaces under moving traffic loads using the three-dimensional (3D) discrete element method (DEM). As an example of a semirigid base asphalt pavement, a discrete ...
