Abstract: Methods of interconversion between relaxation modulus and creep compliance for linear viscoelastic materials are discussed and illustrated using data from asphalt concrete. Existing methods of approximate interconversion ...

Abstract: An efficient method of fitting Prony-series models to viscoelastic experimental data with power-law presmoothing is presented. A direct fitting of a Prony-series function to experimental data without appropriate presmoothing ...

Abstract: In this paper, Schapery's nonlinear elastic-viscoelastic correspondence principle based on pseudostrain concept is introduced as a means of separately evaluating important mechanisms of asphalt concrete under cyclic loading, ...

Abstract: The pavement network represents a visible and expensive component of a highway agency’s total transportation investment and, thus, requires proper management. Historically, the agencies managing these investments have ...

Abstract: Fracture toughness for microcracking in a viscoelastic particulate composite is derived theoretically from the relationship between a continuum damage model and a micromechanical model. The continuum model presented by ...
