In large area micro hot embossing, process temperature plays a critical role in both the local fidelity of microstructure formation and global uniformity. Micro embossing at the lowest temperature with acceptable fidelity can improve the global flatness after demolding. This paper focuses on polymer deformation and recovery in micro embossing when the process temperatures are below its glass tr...

The predominant mode of distress for unbound pavement layers is the permanent deformation of the layer either through gradual deformation or rapid shear failure of the layer. Several researchers have related both these forms of permanent deformation to the ratio of the imposed stress over the shear strength of the material. Conventionally, the shear strength of the material was characterised wi...

The Global Positioning System (GPS) can be utilised in a wide range of deformation monitoring applications. During the past few years a methodology has been developed for processing data collected by GPS networks consisting of a mixed set of single-frequency and dual-frequency receivers. The strategy is to deploy a few permanent, ‘fiducial’ GPS stations with dual-frequency, geodetic-grade recei...

With the rapid global expansion of road networks, asphalt industry faces several environmental challenges, such as material shortages, concerns, escalating costs, demand for eco-friendly materials, and implementation “Net Zero” policies. Given these challenges recognizing need to explore new solutions, this research evaluated binder samples incorporating Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) Reclaimed Pavemen...
