28 Learning Objective and Topics Explain the relationship between dynamic modulus and resilient modulus of asphalt concrete. Topics 1. Characterization of linear viscoelastic functions 2. Relationship between linear viscoelastic functions 3. Relationship between resilient modulus, M R, and dynamic modulus, E*

29 1. LVE Characterization Determine the value of coefficients used in mathematical models that define mechanical properties. Relevant material properties Stress response to unit input of strain = Relaxation modulus, E(t) Strain response to unit input of stress = Creep compliance, D(t) Sinusoidal response to sinusoidal input = Complex modulus/compliance, E*/D* Others: Shear modulus/compliance, bulk modulus/compliance, Poisson s ratio

30 1. LVE Characterization Review from Webinar 1 σ σ n σ n Simply put, the response of an arbitrary loading history is interpreted based on the summation of responses to a series of unit step inputs, e.g., a summation of finite stresses: time σ 4 σ 3 σ 2 σ 1 σ 3 σ 2 x 2 x 3 x 4 x n σ 1 A more common way to expressing the above is in its integral form: t dσ ε() t = Dt ( τ) dτ dτ

31 1. LVE Characterization Time Domain Creep Compliance, D(t) Test Constant load applied for prescribed period of time. Strain response is monitored Principle advantage Creep load is relatively easy to apply Principle concern Can easily exceed the LVE limits σ Input ε Response linear elastic or time independent σ 1 time D(t)=ε t (t)/σ 1 viscoelastic or time dependent ε=dσ 1 time

40 3. M R and E* Approx. Relationship Superposition allows decomposition of input load into separate components. Total response is summation of responses from each component. Stress σ.1 s.9 s = Stress Stress ε = ε ε r.5 s 1 s = Strain Strain +

42 Summary Major uniaxial LVE response functions include the Creep Compliance, Relaxation Modulus, Complex Modulus, and Complex Compliance. The M R is an engineering response function based on a characteristic loading history similar to what occurs in a pavement system. LVE theory can be used to mathematically predict the resilient modulus from know response functions. Characterization Interconversion Integration (Exact) M R E* (f = 5 Hz) (Approximate)

53 Linear Viscoelastic Behaviors When stress is input, R H (t) = D(t) and use: t dσ ε() t = Dt ( τ) dτ dτ When strain is input, R H (t) = E(t) and use: t dε σ() t = Et ( τ) dτ dτ When stress or strain are steady state sinusoidal use: σ = ( E *) ε ε = ( E *) σ

54 Linear Viscoelastic Behaviors Summary Viscoelastic responses exhibit a combination of elastic and viscous behaviors. This characteristic behavior means that relationships between stress and strain must include time-, frequency-, temperature- dependent functionality. In the next presentation we will briefly talk about how these relationships are characterized and how the relationships between these characteristics can be exploited for useful material prediction.
