Simulation of Asphalt Materials Using a Finite Element Micromechanical Model with Damage Mechanics
This work presents a theoretical/numerical study of the micromechanical behavior of asphalt concrete. Asphalt is a heterogeneous material composed of aggregates, binder cement and air voids. The load carrying behavior of such a material is strongly related to the local load transfer between aggregate particles, and this is taken as the microstructural response. Numerical simulation of this mate...
متن کاملNANO- AND MICROMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF HIERARCHICAL BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS A continuum model for remodeling in living structures
A new remodeling theory accounting for mechanically driven collagen fiber reorientation in cardiovascular tissues is proposed. The constitutive equations for the living tissues are motivated by phenomenologically based microstructural considerations on the collagen fiber level. Homogenization from this molecular microscale to the macroscale of the cardiovascular tissue is performed via the conc...
متن کاملBeyond Clusters : Current Practices & Future Strategies
In the mid 1980s, U.S. development agencies were seeking ways to help their struggling industries compete with the modern and remarkably efficient production facilities of western Europe and Japan. That search eventually led them to northern Italy, where scores of technologically advanced but small artisan firms were capturing large shares of European and global markets. I first learned about t...
متن کاملCharacterization and Micromechanical Investigation of Recycled Asphalt Shingle Binder Blends
The sustainability movement has established a firm foothold in the Civil Engineering profession. The use of recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) is the latest development in the world of asphalt pavement sustainability. The relative abundance of tear-off shingles and their high asphalt content is driving RAS usage in highway and airfield pavements. However, the ultimate objective of any pavement sys...
متن کاملPrediction of Creep Stiffness of Asphalt Mixture with Micromechanical Finite-Element and Discrete-Element Models
This study presents micromechanical finite-element FE and discrete-element DE models for the prediction of viscoelastic creep stiffness of asphalt mixture. Asphalt mixture is composed of graded aggregates bound with mastic asphalt mixed with fines and fine aggregates and air voids. The two-dimensional 2D microstructure of asphalt mixture was obtained by optically scanning the smoothly sawn surf...
