Technique for experimental studies of asphalt concrete milling process

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Quantum Inspired Evolutionary Technique for Optimization of End Milling Process

In this paper an attempt is made to develop a new Quantum Inspired Evolutionary Technique (QIET) that is general, flexible and efficient in solving single objective constrained optimization problems. It generates initial parents using quantum seeds. It is here that QIET incorporates ideas from the principles of quantum computation and integrates them in the current frame work of Real Coded Evol...

Effects of Recycled Concrete Aggregates on Properties of Asphalt Concrete

Characterisation of Asphalt Concrete Using Nanoindentation

In this study, nanoindentation was conducted to extract the load-displacement behaviour and the nanomechanical properties of asphalt concrete across the mastic, matrix, and aggregate phases. Further, the performance of hydrated lime as an additive was assessed across the three phases. The hydrated lime containing samples have greater resistance to deformation in the mastic and matrix phases, in...

Microstructural Simulation of Asphalt Materials: Modeling and Experimental Studies

Asphalt concrete is a heterogeneous material composed of aggregates, binder cement, and air voids, and may be described as a cemented particulate system. 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. Simulation of this material behavior was accomplished using a finite e...
