Development of domain integral and generalized finite element methods for three dimensional analysis of near-surface cracking in flexible pavements
… in the analysis of classical bottom-up fatigue cracking of relatively thin flexible pavements, where tensile stresses and strains govern the behavior at the asphalt layer. However, elastic theories are incapable of predicting other pavement distresses, including near-surface cracking. Similarly, …

Analysis of tire-pavement interaction and pavement responses using a decoupled modeling approach
… between a tire and a non-deformable pavement surface was simulated. The tire is modeled as a composite structure including rubber and reinforcement. The steady-state tire rolling process was simulated using an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation. The developed tire-pavement …
