Characterization of low-temperature properties of plant-produced rap mixtures in the Northeast
… A continuum damage model that incorporates the nonlinear constitutive behavior of the HMA mixtures was also successfully implemented and validated. Mixtures with varying percentages of reclaimed material (RAP) ranging from 0 to 40% were used in this research effort in order to verify the …

Large strain flexural testing of thin composite laminates
… ASTM test methods fails to characterize nonlinear constitutive behavior over the full large strain range common to deployable structures. Flexural behavior is characterized by the moment vs. curvature response therefore requiring a bending test. A special test fixture is developed to …

Nonlinear Mechanical and Actuation Characterization of Piezoceramic Fiber Composites
… driving voltages make the inherent piezoelectric nonlinearities more prevalent. In order to effectively utilize their increased performance, the more complicated behavior of these actuators must be sufficiently characterized. The current work is intended to provide a detailed nonlinear …
