Characterization of Crushed Base Materials in Wyoming (Mar 2019, MPC-19-378)
To improve the pavement design and construction in Wyoming, the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) is adopting the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). A full implementation of MEPDG requires the characterization of local crushed base materials. In this research, laboratory...
A Modified Approach for Predicting Fracture of Steel Components Under Combined Large Inelastic Axial and Shear Strain Cycles (Apr 2018, MPC-18-345)
Ductile fracture has been identified as the predominant mode of failure for structural elements under extreme loads and the prediction of such represents considerable challenges. Until recently, ductile fracture of metals has been recognized to be dependent on both stress triaxiality and Lode angle parameter....
