A thermodynamically compatible model for describing asphalt binders: solutions of problems. Issue Volume 17:Issued 6(2016) (2nd July 2016) - Málek, J.
Abstract : In this sequel to the first paper (Málek et al., 2014. International Journal of Pavement Engineering ), in which we identified a generalisation of the model due to Burgers which was corroborated against two sets of experiments, including a challenging one showing distinctly different relaxation times for shear and normal stresses, we solve several time-dependent boundary value problems wherein the boundary of the material is deforming, that have relevance to applications involving asphalt. Problems wherein the boundary is subject to time-varying compressive loads such as those due to moving automobiles and the attendant rutting, and the compaction due to rollers are considered in additions to other problems.
