Modeling is an important approach for describing the physical and mechanical properties of
asphalt, which can be employed to analyze the properties and optimize the performance of …

Air void plays an important role in the crack resistance of asphalt concrete. Although the
impact of porosity on the fracture resistance of asphalt concrete has been studied in the …

The results of an experimental program on eight short reinforced concrete columns having
different structural sizes and axial compression ratios subjected to monotonic/cyclic lateral …

A fast three-dimensional (3D) Voronoi and voxel based mesostructure modeling method
was proposed for asphalt concrete. This method combine the advantages of the Voronoi …

Asphalt concrete (AC) is a composite material consisting of bituminous binders, mineral
aggregate, and voids. Experimental and computational efforts to assess the bulk mechanical …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) random mesostructure models have been broadly utilized to
study mechanical behavior and damage mechanisms of asphalt concrete due to their high …

The microstructure of dual-phase (DP) steels is composed of a matrix of ferrite reinforced by
islands of martensite and the common interphase boundaries. To study the mechanical …

This study developed computational models for virtually generating three-dimensional (3D)
random asphalt mixture microstructure (3D RAMM) using a Voronoi diagram, and analyzed …

Epoxy polymer concrete (EPC) has high volume fraction of aggregate and extraordinary
mismatch of mechanical properties between the granite aggregate and the epoxy matrix …

A versatile framework to create 3D mesoscale models of hot mix asphalt is presented. The
mortar phase of a German standard hot mix asphalt is tested in the linear viscoelastic regime …
