Evaluating the Semi-Circular Bending Test for HMA Mixtures

Authors

Abstract:

Semi-Circular Bending (SCB) Test is a fast and accurate three-point bending test, which was originally used in rock mechanics. SCB test is going to be an accepted test method for asphalt concrete pavements. Different asphalt-mixture property-values such as tensile strength, stress intensity factor and fatigue can be obtained by this test. In this study, static and dynamic tests including SCB test, Stiffness modulus and fatigue tests using Nottingham Asphalt Tester (NAT), Indirect Tensile Strength test (ITS) and Triaxial Hveem test, were conducted on asphalt concrete specimens with different bitumen and filler contents, using two standard aggregate grades. The results obtained from different common tests were compared with the semi-circular bending test; assure that, SCB is a true-accurate test for prediction of both short-term and long-term mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures.

On Evaluating the Inf–sup Condition for Plate Bending Elements

This paper addresses the evaluation of the inf–sup condition for Reissner–Mindlin plate bending elements. This fundamental condition for stability and optimality of a mixed nite element scheme is, in general, very di cult to evaluate analytically, considering for example distorted meshes. Therefore, we develop a numerical test methodology. To demonstrate the test methodology and to obtain speci...

A Zigzag Theory with Local Shear Correction Factors for Semi-Analytical Bending Modal Analysis of Functionally Graded Viscoelastic Circular Sandwich Plates

Free bending vibration analysis of the functionally graded viscoelastic circular sandwich plates is accomplished in the present paper, for the first time. Furthermore, local shear corrections factors are presented that may consider simultaneous effects of the gradual variations of the material properties and the viscoelastic behaviors of the materials, for the first time. Moreover, in contrast ...

Size-Dependent Green’s Function for Bending of Circular Micro Plates Under Eccentric Load

In this paper, a Green’s function is developed for bending analysis of micro plates under an asymmetric load. In order to consider the length scale effect, the modified couple stress theory is used. This theory can accurately predict the behavior of micro structures. A thin micro plate is considered and therefore the classical plate theory is utilized. The size dependent governing equilibrium e...

Using the Finite Element Analysis Method to Study the 3-point Bending Test for the Characterization of the Adherence

An elastic finite element analysis was conducted to evaluate the stress distribution in the initiation zone of the adhesive rupture during the 3-point bending test. This test is used to measure the adherence between a polyepoxy adhesive and aluminum alloy with different surface treatments. The purpose is to compare, in the high stress concentration areas, the stress fields calculated using fini...
