16 Viscoelasticity: Commonly used models for asphaltic materials Could be classified as: Prony series forms (Generalized models) Parabolic models Others Prony series form: Generalized Maxwell Model E( t) τ i = h = i=1 η E i i E i Exp [ t / τ ] i E 1 E 2 E 3 E h η 1 η 2 η 3 η h 16
17 Viscoelasticity: Constitutive models Parabolic Models: Huet-Sayegh Model (1965): Parabolic Units Parabolic Unit (time dependent dashpot) σ k ε ( t) = t, < k A < 1 : 2S2P1D Model: Di Benedetto et al.

22 Graded Finite Elements Homogeneous Graded Graded Elements: Account for material non-homogeneity within elements unlike conventional (homogeneous) elements Lee and Erdogan (1995) and Santare and Lambros (2) Direct Gaussian integration (properties sampled at integration points) Kim and Paulino (22) Generalized isoparametric formulation (GIF) Paulino and Kim (27) and Silva et al. (27) further explored GIF graded elements Proposed patch tests GIF elements should be preferred for multiphysics applications Buttlar et al. (26) demonstrated need of graded FE for asphalt pavements (elastic analysis) 22

51 Summary Viscoelastic graded finite elements using GIF are proposed Correspondence principle based formulation is developed and implemented Recursive formulation is utilized for time-integration analysis Verifications are performed by comparison of present approaches with: Analytical solutions Commercial software (ABAQUS) Asphalt pavement systems are simulated: Aged pavement conditions Graded interfaces 51
52 Conclusions Aging and temperature dependent property gradients should be considered in simulation of asphalt pavements Non-homogeneous viscoelastic analyses procedures presented here are suitable and preferred for simulation of asphalt pavement systems Proposed procedures yield greater accuracy and efficiency over conventional approaches Layered gradation approach can yield significant errors Most pronounced errors are at layer interfaces in the stress and strain quantities. 52
53 Conclusions (cont.) Interface between asphalt concrete layers can be realistically simulated using the procedures discussed in the current dissertation When using the layered approach, averaging at layer interfaces may lead to significantly different predictions as compared to the FGM approach The difference is usually exaggerated with time when a significant viscoelastic gradation is present 53
