This study investigated the simulation of wheel tracking test and high-temperature rutting behaviour an asphalt mixture by using discrete element method (DEM). Based on DEM software named as Particle Flow Code in three dimensions (PFC3D), a micromechanical model composed coarse aggregates, mastic, air voids was built two-dimensional virtual simulated. test, distribution displacement contact forces within specimen were analysed. It is proved that can capture deformation caused combination...

The objective of this study is to design an innovative mesoscopic test for characterizing the damage evolutions and fracture performances asphalt mortar. Based on SEM-Servopulser devices improved specimens, pure mode I cracking tests were conducted successfully under scanning electron microscope (SEM). It can have a real-time online observations records surface micro-crack behaviors different loads. And it first time in road engineering capture dynamic micro-behavior micro-structure...

As the number of available 3D models grows, there is an increasing need to index and retrieve them according their contents. This paper provides a survey up-to-date methods for content-based model retrieval. First, new challenges encountered in retrieval are discussed. Then, system framework some key techniques identified explained, including canonical coordinate normalization preprocessing, feature extraction, similarity match, query representation user interface, performance evaluation. In...

Dynamic shear modulus of an asphalt mastic has a remarkable effect on the mechanical performance pavement, and particulate composite micromechanical models are proven to be suitable for prediction mastics. However, accuracy current decreases sharply at high filler concentration temperature (or low frequency). This study aims develop modified model that can applied predict mastics wide range frequencies concentrations. rheometer (DSR) tests performed using with four concentrations,...

Low-dimensional lead halide perovskites with broadband emission hold great promise for single-component white-light-emitting (WLE) devices. The origin of their has been commonly attributed to self-trapped excitons (STEs) composed localized electronic polarization a distorted lattice. Unfortunately, the exact and structural nature STE species in these WLE materials remains elusive, hindering rational design high-efficiency materials. In this study, by combining ultrafast transient absorption...

Rubber can improve the mechanical properties of coated nitrogen fertilizers (CNFs), but biomass components cause holes in urea release process, thus accelerating urea. In this study, a self-healing rubber (SHR) shell/hydrogel core based on supramolecular network was fabricated as coating material for CNFs to above problems. The consists vanillin(Van)-cross-linked poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) hydrogel, prepared by freeze–thaw cycle. shell soaking Van-cross-linked...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by β amyloid (Aβ) deposition and neurofibril tangles. It has been reported that bioflavonoid, quercetin, could ameliorate AD phenotypes in C. elegans mice. However, the mechanism underlying ameliorative effect of quercetin not fully understood yet. Drosophila models recapitulate AD-like phenotypes, such as shortened lifespan, impaired locomotive ability well defects learning memory. So this study, we...
