Modelling and simulation techniques are now considered an essential practice for the
materials industry. In order to gain insight into factors that can affect the final properties of a …

Viscoelastic composites are widely used in engineering applications, necessitating a
comprehensive understanding of their effective response to external loads. This study …

Abstract A three‐dimensional (3‐D) locally homogeneous model for asphalt mixtures is
presented in this study, which can effectively balance the simulating accuracy and …

We present a recently developed three-dimensional-finite-deformation-rate form-based
constitutive theory to describe the deformation and fracture of viscoelastic solids. The …

A locally homogeneous finite element (FE) model is proposed to account for the
heterogeneous internal structures of asphalt mixtures in this study. For this model, the …

This paper provides semi-analytical results for transient poroelastic behaviors of a
functionally graded hollow sphere that are lacking in the present literature. The whole …

Due to the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients and effective moduli between fibers
and matrix materials, local stress concentrations arise in composites during the curing …

We show that the effective behavior of composites made of viscoelastic rheological
constituents can be modeled by a rheology of which the internal properties can be quasi …

Asphalt pavements perform complex linear and nonlinear mechanical responses with
respect to traffic loadings. Compared with traditional experimental approaches, the …

Due to the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients and effec tive moduli between fiber
and matrix materials, local stress concen trations arise in composites during the curing …
