By correlating the gradation parameter to the volumetric properties of the structure, this paper theoretically demonstrated the roles of aggregate particles with different sizes in an HMA mixture.
The intensity, frequency and number of defect modes have been changed with the thickness and gradation parameter of graded index defect layer.
This paper attempts to develop an empirical correlation of dynamic modulus (|E∗|) and resilient modulus (MR) – two performance tests used to characterize the stiffness of asphaltic concrete mixtures, and proposes a statistical model for |E∗| as a function of MR, gradation parameter, and mix volumetric parameter.
It is demonstrated that phase velocities of a nanoporous double-nanobeam system rely on the porosities, material gradation, nonlocal parameters, strain gradient parameter, interlayer springs, elastic substrate and wave number.
Under the hypothesis of axial compression applied on the cylindrical specimen, first-order multiple linear regression models are developed for FN and FN Index as a function of the binder, volumetric parameters, gradation, and DM to estimate permanent deformation.
The influence of material parameter gradation and initial electron density is investigated in the static case.
It is indicated that type of vibration, moisture rise, temperature rise, nonlocal parameter, strain gradient parameter, material gradation, elastic foundation and side-to-thickness have a remarkable influence on vibration behavior of double-layered nanoscale plates.
The effects of test temperature, stress level and aggregate gradation on the viscoelastic parameters of asphalt mixture were analyzed.
