Analysis of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Linear Viscoelastic and Bimodular Properties Using Uniaxial Compression and Indirect Tension (IDT) Tests
… determined whether HMA need to be modeled as a bimodular material to analyze IDT creep compliance test results. The need to model HMA as a bimodular material is a result of a number of studies that suggest that HMA tensile and compressive properties are different. A testing program was developed …

Large deformation dynamic bending of composite beams
… in several events. All laminates exhibited bimodular properties. The compressive flexural moduli in some laminates was measured to be 1/2 the tensile flexural modulus. No simple relationship could be found among the measured ultimate failure strains of the different laminate types. Using …

Confined wrinkling of thin elastic rods, sheets and cones
Thin-walled structures, such as plates and shells, become more vulnerable to in-plane compressive effects as their thickness is reduced, where they may buckle out-of-plane at lower than operational loads. Here, a novel approach allows the thin structures to buckle, but within a prescribed …
