The efficiency of the rejuvenation can be evaluated by studying the rejuvenator, new and old binder blend. The blend must represent the binder blend inside the asphalt mixture to reflect reality. Extracting and recovering the binder of the rejuvenated asphalt mixtures containing RAP is the best practice to obtain the binder blend inside the asphalt mixture. However, extraction and recovery is not a common practice to study rejuvenation efficiency since it is time-consuming and energy-demanding with exposure to hazardous chemicals. Instead, blending rejuvenator, new binder and the extracted and recovered (E&R) binder from RAP limits the extraction and recovery to the RAP and minimizes efforts for studying rejuvenation efficiency. This study aims to find the blending conditions under which the blend of the rejuvenator, new and RAP binder represents the E&R binder from asphalt mixture concerning rheological performance and behavior properties. The rheological properties of three binder blends prepared under intense, moderate, and low blending conditions were compared with those of the E&R binder. Performance grade (PG), rutting potential (multiple stress creep and recovery test), fatigue resistance (linear amplitude sweep test) and behavioral characteristics (linearity and complex modulus tests) are the rheological properties of this study. It was found that intense and moderate blending conditions are good representatives of the E&R binder with regard to PG and PG+ designation. In addition, intense, moderate, and low blending conditions can be a surrogate for the PAV-aged E&R binder. It can be claimed that any intensity of blending conditions between intense and moderate lead to binder specimen that is almost identical to E&R binder with respect to rutting potential and characterization.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":698,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials","volume":"28 4","pages":"3049 - 3068"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141258900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces a numerical-analytical hybrid model tailored to predict residual stresses in UVAG. The model independently calculates mechanical and thermal stress fields using contact mechanics and finite difference methods. It employs Hertz’s contact theory and Timoshenko’s thermoelastic theory to establish a correlation between mechanical and thermal loads and the internal stresses in the workpiece. The residual stress field is then determined by considering the thermal-mechanical coupling effects inherent in UVAG. Experiments conducted on 12Cr2Ni4A alloy steel validate the model, with a maximum deviation of 10.5% between predicted and measured residual stresses. Further analysis shows that the presented method has a significant computational efficiency advantage over the simulation method that uses generic finite element software. The work confirms the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed model, offering a novel approach for predicting residual stress in UVAG.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":698,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials","volume":"28 4","pages":"2981 - 3003"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141188250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A two-way coupled chemo-viscoelastic model is developed for this purpose, and the governing equations are solved via the finite element method using deal. ii, an open source C++ library. Comparative studies between one-way and two-way coupled chemo-viscoelastic models reveal that concentration and stress are initially larger for the two-way coupled model, but later they reduce in magnitude compared to the one-way coupled model. The level of filling at which the switch is observed decreases with increase in particle size. The switch occurs due to change in the sign of gradient of hydrostatic stress for a viscoelastic material from negative to positive and its concurrent effect on diffusive flux as a result of two-way coupling between stress and diffusion. Further, from comparative studies between two-way coupled elastic and viscoelastic models, it is observed that speed of filling is greater for an elastic particle in comparison to a viscoelastic particle, and the gap increases when the particle size is smaller. In addition, lower values of stresses are observed for viscoelastic electrode particles, and the difference between maximum stress generated increases with increase in particle size. Thus, the time scales associated with viscoelastic constitutive response and diffusion process alters the SID effects and could be tuned while designing electrodes to mitigate slowing down of diffusion and fracture.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":698,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials","volume":"28 3","pages":"1133 - 1164"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141188664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The creep curve of a material gives an insight into the nature of its creep behavior. In the present investigation, accelerated creep experiments were conducted on Zr-2.5Nb PT alloy in the stress and temperature range of 22–58 MPa and 600–850 °C, respectively. Two data-driven models, namely Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) and Least Square Fit (LSF) were developed to simulate the non-linearity of the creep curves. Applied stress, test temperature, and time to failure were taken as the input parameters for the models. It was observed that although the LSF could predict the primary creep zone, it failed to predict the transition between the secondary and tertiary creep region. However, the creep curves predicted by the RBFNN model were in close agreement with the experimental results, having a confidence level of ≈ 0.99. Two separate sets of creep experiments were also done later to verify the accuracy of the proposed models.

In the proposed sandwich nanoplate, an auxetic core layer with a negative Poisson’s ratio made of Ti-6Al-4V is sandwiched between Ti-6Al-4V rim layers and magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) face layers. The MEE face layers are homogenous volumetric mixtures of cobalt ferrite (CoFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) and barium titanate (BaTiO<sub>3</sub>). The mechanical and thermal material properties of the auxetic core and MEE face layers are temperature-dependent. Using Hamilton’s principle, governing equations are constructed. To characterize the size-dependent behavior of the nanoplate, governing equations are adapted with the nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT). By applying the principles of Navier’s technique, closed-form solutions are obtained. Parametric simulations are carried out to examine the effects of auxetic core parameters, temperature-dependent material properties, nonlocal parameters, electric, magnetic, and thermal loads on the free vibration and thermal buckling behavior of the nanoplate.
