Permanent deformation is one of the dominant asphalt concrete damages. Significant
progress has been made to realistically predict the damage. In the last decade, the …

Among the various models presented so far to describe the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior
of materials, the model proposed by Schapery in the 1960s stands out for its wide …

A thermodynamically-based constitutive model is proposed for isotropic homogeneous
thermoplastic polymers under arbitrary multiaxial and non-monotonic loadings. The model …

A novel continuum damage mechanics-based framework is proposed to model the micro-
damage healing phenomenon in the materials that tend to self-heal. This framework extends …

The focus of the current paper is on the development and validation of a micro-damage
healing model that improves the ability of an integrated nonlinear viscoelastic, viscoplastic …

A general thermodynamic-based framework for deriving coupled temperature-dependent
viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, viscodamage, and micro-damage healing constitutive models …

Fatigue crack growth in asphalt pavements under vehicle load may primarily occur within the
asphalt fine aggregate matrix (FAM) phase of the mixture. This study aims to predict fatigue …

Asphalt concrete is a composite heterogeneous material comprised of aggregates bonded
together by bitumen binder. The mechanical behaviour of this material shows great …

Asphalt pavement experiences various wet-dry histories in the service stage. However, the
influence of wet-dry history on asphalt mixture is unknown. Therefore, to clarify the …

The rutting resistance design of asphalt pavement is full of compromise between technology
and economy because it is difficult to predict rutting evolution and distribution. In order to …
