Prediction 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...
متن کاملInvestigating the Creep Properties of PET-Modified Asphalt Concrete
This study has investigated the creep properties of asphaltic concrete modified with different dosages of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in two different ranges of size. Uniaxial dynamic creep test at 40°C was conducted on the cylindrical specimens of the mixtures. The load was applied in two different frequencies of 0.5 and 5Hz. Creep test results showed that the accumulated strain und...
متن کاملMicromechanical Considerations of Particle Breakage Using Discrete Element Method
Using DEM (Discrete Element Method), a model is presented to simulate the breakage of two-dimensional polygonshaped particles. In this model, shapes of the particles generated after breakage are predefined and each uniform (uncracked) particle is replaced with smaller inter-connected sub-particles. If the bond between these sub-particles breaks, breakage will happen. With the help of this model...

متن کاملmodeling of different subsoiler tines performance using discrete element method
for designing tillage implements it would be better to estimate soil forces exerted to the implements. many researches showed that numerical method of discrete element method (dem) is the cheapest and fastest technique for modeling granular material such as soil and especially sandy soil. in this study, paraplow and bentleg tines performance was compared with conventional tine using experimenta...
