To obtain the viscoelastic parameters of asphalt mixtures and analyze the effect of temperatures and modifiers on viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures, the creep compliances of the neat asphalt mixture (AM), compound diatomite and basalt fibers reinforced asphalt mixture (DBFAM), and styrene-butadiene-styrene modified asphalt mixture (SBSAM) were tested and calculated by the static creep tests. And the creep compliances of the three asphalt mixtures at −20 °C, −10 °C, and 0 °C are deducted by the time–temperature equivalence principle (TTEP) and Arrhenius equation. Further, the relaxation modulus of the three asphalt mixtures from −20 °C to 50 °C at 10 °C increments are calculated by the convolution integral and Simpson method. Subsequently, the Burgers model, the generalized Kelvin model, and the generalized Maxwell model are applied to analyze the viscoelastic properties of the three asphalt mixtures at different temperatures. The results show that the generalized Kelvin model and the generalized Maxwell model are superior to the Burgers model in describing the variation of viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures with loading time. At low temperatures, asphalt mixtures have excellent properties in resisting permanent deformation and releasing internal stress. Besides, the addition of SBS modifier and compound diatomite and basalt fibers modifier can significantly raise the viscosity η1 and the elastic modulus E1 of the asphalt mixture, respectively.

To optimize the properties of asphalt mixtures and make full use of waste rubber tires, diatomite and crumb rubber particles were applied to reinforce the asphalt mixtures in this study. The rutting tests, the three-point bending tests, the freeze-thaw splitting tests, and the uniaxial compression creep tests were performed to analyze the effects of asphalt types and aggregate gradation on the pavement properties of diatomite and crumb rubber particles reinforced asphalt mixtures (DRPAM). Subsequently, the creep and relaxation characteristics of DRPAM were analyzed by the Burgers model, the modified Burgers model, the second-order extensive Maxwell model, and the Scott–Blair model. The results show that rubber particles and diatomite can reinforce the high temperature, low temperature, and viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures, although the improvement effect is weaker than styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS). Consequently, it is concluded that rubber particle and diatomite compound modified asphalt mixture with suspension dense gradation and SBS binder will have better performance.

The periodontal ligament (PDL) exhibits different material mechanical properties along the long axis of the teeth. To explore the creep and the relaxation effects of dissimilar layers of PDL, this paper took the central incisors of porcine mandibular as experimental subjects and divided them perpendicular to the teeth axis into five layers. Creep experiments and relaxation experiments on five layers were conducted to obtain the creep compliance and relaxation modulus at different layers. Linear elastic model, generalized Kelvin model, and generalized Maxwell model were used to describe the major characteristics of the PDL: Instantaneous elasticity, creep and relaxation. Fitting accuracy of three-parameter, five-parameter, and seven-parameter of the model was compared, and the constitutive equations of different layers were established by the least square method. The results presented that the creep strain and the relaxation stress of PDL were exponentially correlated with time under different loading conditions. Different layers showed a significant effect on the creep strain and relaxation stress of PDL. Along the long axis of the teeth, the changing rule of the creep compliance and relaxation modulus of each layer showed quite the contrary, and the instantaneous elastic modulus first decreased to the minimum, then increased to the maximum. Higher instantaneous elastic modulus led to lower creep compliance and higher relaxation modulus. The generalized Kelvin model and the generalized Maxwell model well characterized the creep and relaxation properties of PDL. Fitting accuracy increased with the number of model parameters. The relaxation time of PDL was about one order of magnitude shorter than the creep retardation time, which indicated that the relaxation effect lasted shorter than the creep effect.

This study aims to study the viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures incorporating styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) polymer and basalt fiber under freeze–thaw (F-T) cycles by using the static creep test. Asphalt mixture samples incorporating styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) polymer and basalt fiber were manufactured following the Superpave gyratory compaction (SGC) method and coring as well as sawing. After 0 to 21 F-T cycles processing, a uniaxial compression static creep test for the asphalt mixture specimens was performed to evaluate the influence of F-T cycles. The results indicated that the F-T cycles caused a larger creep deformation in the asphalt mixtures, which led to a decrease in the rut resistance of the asphalt mixtures incorporating SBS polymer and basalt fiber. Besides, the resistance to deformation decreased significantly in the early stage of F-T cycles. On the other hand, the viscoelastic parameters were analyzed to discuss the variation of viscoelastic characteristics. The relaxation time increased with F-T cycles, which will not be conducive to internal stress dissipation. Compared with lignin fiber, basalt fiber can improve the resistance to high-temperature deformation and the low-temperature crack resistance of asphalt mixtures under F-T cycles.

The objective of this study is to investigate and evaluate the effect of fine aggregates (aggregate size smaller than or equal to 2.36 mm) on the compressive strength and creep behavior of asphalt mixtures. The variables that are considered in the study include the sizes and gradations of fine aggregate. A kind of standant aggregate gradation and four kinds of reduced aggregate gradation mixture specimens are used. Uniaxial compression and static creep tests were realized at different loading conditions. The test results showed that the different fine aggregate sizes do not result in significant differences in compressive strength and creep values using the same percentage of fine aggregates (38.4%). Only the different gradations showed a little differences for mixtures made with different gradations but same aggregate size (between 2.36 and 1.18 mm).

To determine and compare the fracture properties of different asphalt mixtures, single-edge notched beam (SENB) tests using three types of asphalt mixtures were applied in this study under the conditions of different notched depths and different temperatures. The effects of notched depths and temperatures on the fracture toughness and fracture energy were analyzed. The results indicate that the notch depth has no significant effects on the fracture toughness and the fracture energy, but the gradation has relatively obvious effects on the fracture energy, which the larger contents of course aggregate leads to increase the discreteness of the fracture energy of the specimen. The temperature has significant effects on the ultimate loads, fracture energy, and fracture toughness. The ultimate loads of the SENBs reach the peak value at 0°C, which could be resulted in that viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixture depend with temperatures. The fracture toughness at −20°C of continuously graded asphalt mixtures are higher than those of gap-graded asphalt mixtures. On the contrary, the fracture toughness of gap-graded asphalt mixtures is higher at temperatures from −10°C to 20°C. The fracture energy increases with temperatures, and the fracture energy of SMA-13 is significantly larger than those of AC-13 and AC-16.

Abstract Identification of the damping and stiffness parameters of the composite joints in finite element structures is analyzed. For the modeling of the viscoelastic properties of the joints the classical Voigt-Kelvin and generalized Maxwell model (three parameter solid) are used. A time domain identification algorithm for classically and non-classically damped dynamic systems is developed. It is based on the application of an extended Kalman filter and least square technique. The algorithm uses complex modal analysis and sparse matrix technology. Both force and base excited systems are considered. Experimental verification of the identification results is carried out on a test structure. The accuracy of the modeling of damping in the joint using the Voigt-Kelvin and generalized Maxwell models is investigated.

We present two methods used in the identification of viscoelastic parameters of asphalt mixtures used in pavements. The static creep test and the dynamic test, with a frequency of 10 Hz, were carried out based on the four-point bending beam (4BP). In the method identifying viscoelastic parameters for the Brugers’ model, we included the course of a creeping curve (for static creep) and fatigue hysteresis (for dynamic test). It was shown that these parameters depend significantly on the load time, method used, and temperature and asphalt content. A similar variation of parameters depending on temperature was found for the two tests, but different absolute values were obtained. Additionally, the share of viscous deformations in relation to total deformations is presented, on the basis of back calculations and finite element methods. We obtained a significant contribution of viscous deformations (about 93% for the static test and 25% for the dynamic test) for the temperature 25 °C. The received rheological parameters from both methods appeared to be sensitive to a change in asphalt content, which means that these methods can be used to design an optimal asphalt mixture composition—e.g., due to the permanent deformation of pavement. We also found that the parameters should be determined using the creep curve for the static analyses with persistent load, whereas in the case of the dynamic studies, the hysteresis is more appropriate. The 4BP static creep and dynamic tests are sufficient methods for determining the rheological parameters for materials designed for flexible pavements. In the 4BP dynamic test, we determined relationships between damping and viscosity coefficients, showing material variability depending on the test temperature.

In order to analyze the characteristics of high modulus asphalt mixture dynamic modulus, Universal Testing Machine (UTM-25) was used for dynamic modulus test of three kinds of mixtures, which were PR Module modified asphalt mixture and PR PLAST.S modified asphalt mixture and virgin asphalt mixture, to investigate dynamic modulus and phase angle at different temperatures and frequencies. The results indicate that: the dynamic modulus order of the three asphalt mixtures is PR MODULE > PR PLAST.S > Virgin. PR MODULE asphalt mixture dynamic modulus is much larger than the other two.

Linear Viscoelastic

The linear and non-linear viscoelastic properties and the effect of refrigerated storage on the rheological properties of three commercial mozzarella cheeses was studied. The linearity of the rheological behavior of mozzarella cheese increases with temperature because of the ability for the cheese to flow easier at higher temperatures as well as the lack of yield stress at elevated temperatures. The generalized Maxwell model parameters obtained from the linear viscoelastic data were found to describe the linear relaxation dynamics of the mozzarella cheese satisfactorily. It is also shown that the damping function of mozzarella cheese, which is a measure of the degree of non-linearity, can be described by a generalized Zapas model. Although, the different commercial mozzarella cheeses do not exhibit linear viscoelastic differences at room temperature, they do show significant differences at 60°C. The effect of refrigerated storage on the linear viscoelastic properties is brand-dependent and indicates structural differences among cheese samples. Finally it is shown that the dynamic moduli decrease with longer refrigerated storage due to proteolysis activities and/or weakening of the casein matrix.
