Characterization of Rutting in Asphalt Pavements using Laboratory Testing
Rani, Shivani (2019)In asphalt pavements, rutting is one of the main concerns at high in-service temperature, which can occur either through plastic flow or shear in structural layers. Rutting depends on several factors, such as asphalt binder ... -
Evaluation of Surface Free Energy Characteristics of Aggregates and Binders in Hot Mix Asphalt (FHWA-OK 02(03) 2152)
Wasiuddin, Nazimuddin M.; Fogle, Chris M.; Zaman, Musharraf M.; O'Rear, Edgar A. (2006-5)The objectives of this project is to demonstrate whether the Surface Free Energy (SFE) concept reported by Cheng et al. (2002) can be utilized to characterize the moisture-induced damage potential of selected asphalt binders ... -
A Flow Induced Autoimmune Response and Accelerated Senescence of Red Blood Cells in Cardiovascular Devices
Buerck, James P.; Burke, Dustin K.; Schmidtke, David W.; Snyder, Trevor A.; Papavassiliou, Dimitrios; O'Rear, Edgar A. (2019-12-19)Red blood cells (RBCs) passing through heart pumps, prosthetic heart valves and other cardiovascular devices undergo early senescence attributed to non-physiologic forces. We hypothesized that mechanical trauma accelerates ... -
Performance of Glass Woven Fabric Composites with Admicellar-Coated Thin Elastomeric Interphase
Barraza, Harry J.; Hamidi, Youssef K.; Aktas, Levent; O'Rear, Edgar A.; Altan, M. Cengiz (2016-05)Adequate stress transfer between the inorganic reinforcement and surrounding polymeric matrix is essential for achieving enhanced structural integrity and extended lifetime performance of fiber-reinforced composites.
