As a basic theory of the vehicle industry, the vehicle dynamics plays an important role in the
development of the vehicle industry. In the past decades, great progress was made in the …

At first glance, roads seem like the simplest possible geotechnical structures. However,
analysis of these structures runs up against complexities related to the intense stresses …

This paper presents 2D and 3D meso-level mechanical modelling for numerical analysis of
ravelling resistance of porous asphalt concrete (PAC). The complex geometry of PAC was …

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 325:
Significant Findings from Full-Scale Accelerated Pavement Testing documents and …

This article presents the latest progress in research on tire–pavement contact behavior.
Firstly, the tire–pavement contact characteristics and their influencing factors are …

ABSTRACT Three-dimensional (3D) contact stresses occurring between the road surface
and the tire that were measured with the South African Vehicle Road Surface Pressure …

Circular uniform static load was generally utilised for asphalt pavement design. Software
packages for pavement mechanics analysis, such as BISAR, were developed based on the …

Actual technologies of materials and heavier vehicles generated new conditions of
bituminous pavement degradation. The surface layers, now thinner and subjected to intense …

The aim of this paper is to highlight the use of SIM (Stress-In-Motion) technology on typical
heavy vehicles found at the N3-TCC (Traffic Control Centre), with illustrative examples on …

Pavement design assumes uniform contact loading because of bottom-up traditional
cracking (far from loading), but nowadays more and more surface damage (top-down …
