Tunable dry adhesion has a range of applications, including transfer printing, climbing
robots, and gripping in automated manufacturing processes. Here, a novel concept to …

Several mechanistic-empirical software packages have been developed in the last two
decades to address the impact of axle load and axle configuration on pavement responses …

Axle load spectra constitute a crucial part of the data for pavement design and pavement
distress analysis. Typically, axle load spectra represent static load from vehicles and do not …

Application of performance-based design (PBD) in earthquake geotechnical design codes
has been gaining attention for the past decade. Strong vibrations (eg, earthquake loading) …

Patching flexible pavements is one of the most important responsibilities of pavement
maintenance. Uneven pavement impacts vehicle running costs, speed, riding comfort …

Present study illustrates the importance of simulated 3D finite element in order to calculate
the flexible pavement response with viscoelastic behavior under moving load and different …

This dissertation investigates training neural networks for system identification and
classification. The research contains two main contributions as follow: 1. Reducing number …

A case study was performed to analyze an Overweight (OW) vehicle in Las Vegas, United
Sates, using the actual permit. The objective of this case study was to estimate pavement …
