In this study, the adhesive healing performance of selected asphalt binders were estimated using the %HTindex of bond strength recovery from the BBSH test. The effects from the types of substrate aggregate (limestone or granite) and the presence of water (dry or wet) on %HTindex are mainly...
The principle of the approach is to compute the through thickness stresses of the adherends analytically within the cohesive element representing the cohesive behaviour of the complete adhesive. Via a stress based interaction criterion it becomes possible to detect delamination in the adherends. The ...
The fluidization behaviour of particles is affected by both particles and gas properties; that is, density, relative humidity and viscosity of the gas as well as particle parameters such as density, size distribution, surface roughness and hardness, shape, adhesive surface energy and porosity. In ...
