Asphalt concrete (AC) is a kind of complex multi-phase engineering material. To date, the evaluation and determination of mechanical behavior of AC remain resorting to experiments. However, this approach is not able to directly reveal the influence of the microstructure of AC quantitatively. In this paper, a micromechanics-based model is described to simulate the elastic behavior of AC, with the emphasis...
The standard computational approach for the homogenization of elastic–plastic response of periodic materials is the finite-element method. Amongst the emerging alternatives, the finite-volume direct averaging micromechanics (FVDAM) theory has shown promise. Herein, we present a systematic comparison of the predictive capabilities of both approaches in the context of two technologically important material...
