Thermal fatigue cracking is induced by cycles of temperature changes with relatively long time periods, which can be regarded as slow frequency sinusoidal loading. Traffic fatigue cracking is induced by numerous vehicle load repetitions and is often characterized using fast frequency sinusoidal loading. These two loading types occur simultaneously in the field. In order to investigate how to properly model the damage due to these two loading types, a set of tests that vary the load, frequency, and mode of testing was designed to mimic the scenarios that asphalt pavements experience under thermal loading and traffic loading separately and under the combined and simultaneous effects of both thermal and traffic loading. The viscoelastic continuum damage (VECD) model was applied to simulate the changes in material integrity under each condition. After determining the appropriate configuration for the proposed prediction model, the material integrity predictions were found to be accurate for the fast frequency tests but less accurate for the slow frequency tests. This difference is attributable to plasticity being a much more significant factor under slow frequency conditions than under fast frequency conditions. For the tests combining both fast and slow frequency conditions, the material integrity results oscillated continuously. It was postulated that these oscillations were due to the recovery mechanisms of asphalt concrete such as nonlinearity and healing. When the simplified viscoelastic continuum damage (S-VECD) model was applied, which does not consider the material's recovery characteristics, the predicted material integrity was able to match the overall trend observed in the tests. Ultimately, a new way to model combined damage simultaneously under two cracking mechanisms (thermal fatigue cracking and traffic fatigue cracking) is introduced in this paper.}, journal={CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING MATERIALS}, author={Zeng, Zhe and Kim, Y.

One such model is the simplified viscoelastic continuum damage (S-VECD) model, which has been implemented in the pavement performance prediction program, FlexPAVETM. The S-VECD model test protocols (AASHTO TP 133 and AASHTO T 400) and data processing tool (FlexMATTM) are widely used around the world. Over the past three decades, this model has been continuously improved and refined. However, questions remain on the model’s ability to predict the material response when stress or strain are used as the model input. Also, different fitting procedures for the model calibration were found to affect the model’s prediction accuracy. In this study, analysis was conducted using data for four typical North Carolina mixes based on single replicate tests and multiple replicate tests to compare the model’s prediction accuracy based on stress versus strain as the model input and by considering fitting errors in the different calculations. The results show that using strain as the model input, which automatically incorporates portions of permanent strain, yields more accurate predictions compared to using stress as the input, regardless of the fitting algorithm. Additionally, in the analysis of individual test data, which is not affected by replicate specimen variability, the model’s predictions match the measured data well, as long as the fitting errors of the damage characteristic curve are controlled. When the data from replicate tests are analyzed together, although specimen variability compromises the S-VECD model’s prediction accuracy, failure can still be reasonably determined when strain is used as the model input.}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FATIGUE}, author={Zeng, Zhe and Kim, Y.

Ultrasound-based methods that measure arterial wave propagation have promise for evaluating local stiffness in vivo. However, geometric properties of arteries cause dispersion, invalidating typical assumptions underlying the relationship between shear modulus G and group velocity cg, which clinical implementations of ultrasound shear wave elastography do not consider. Here, we examine the dependence of these estimates on geometry and evaluate alternative approaches. Wave motion in the proximal wall of an artery after application of focused acoustic radiation force is simulated with a semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) model, and cg is estimated using a time-to-peak algorithm to determine G with several methods. First, the value of G a clinical scanner would report is calculated assuming a bulk medium. Second, a pulse wave velocity (PWV)-based G estimate is calculated by taking cg = PWV and applying the Moens–Korteweg equation. Third, we develop an interpolation-based method to provide a corrected G estimate using data generated by the SAFE model. Simulation results show severe geometry-dependent bias with the bulk method, which is partially ameliorated with the PWV method and substantially improved with the interpolation approach.

Straightforward parametrization can lead to material instabilities (lack of positive definiteness of the modulus tensor), and failed forward solves during the optimization process. To address this, we present two approaches to impose positive-definiteness: (a) so-called Alpha parametrization that is physically transparent, and (b) parametrization based on Cholesky decomposition. Positive definiteness is implicitly satisfied for Cholesky parametrization, while an inequality constraint and some bound constraints are required for Alpha parametrization. The inequality constraint leads to increased computational cost, which is alleviated by a practical methodology of approximating the nonlinear constraint by the box constraints for practical applications. In the end, both parametrizations have similar computational cost.

The key idea is an approximate solver called double-sweeping solver, which divides the domain into smaller slabs and sequentially solves the wavefields through a downward and an upward sweeping. The sequential solution is facilitated by approximating the continuity conditions that suppress the multiples, thus relaxing long-range coupling between the subdomains. The double-sweeping solver is incorporated into an inexact Gauss-Newton approach to perform FWI, where the gradient and the Hessian vector multiplication are computed more efficiently. Through numerical experiments, we show that the convergence of FWI with respect to the number of iterations does not degrade when the double-sweeping approximation is used. Given that the double-sweeping solver is computationally cheaper than full-wave simulation, the proposed method is more efficient than the standard FWI.

Sonic-echo techniques rely on generating nondispersive longitudinal waves by impacting the pile top and subsequently picking peaks that correspond to initial and reflected wave arrivals. Unfortunately, pile tops are often inaccessible for in-service foundations and alternate impacting techniques result in signals for which time domain peak picking can be difficult. Pile sides are often easily accessible, but side impact generates highly dispersive flexural waves resulting in complicated waveforms for which analysis is not straightforward. Existing methods to process dispersive flexural waves rely on signal processing based methods and do not explicitly incorporate the physical dispersion properties of the system, resulting in large errors. To address the current limitations, a new method called effective dispersion analysis of reflections (EDAR) was recently developed for pile length estimation. EDAR provides a simple and robust technique to analyze dispersive flexural waves generated from side impact for which time domain processing is not applicable. In this paper, length estimation through EDAR is explained for longitudinal and flexural waves using synthetic bar and Timoshenko beam models. Field validation for two types of pile, concrete filled steel tubes and prestressed concrete, with varying cross sections and embedment are presented. EDAR resulted in pile length estimates within 10% error. }, journal={TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD}, author={Samu, Vivek and Guddati, Murthy}, year={2021}, month={Apr} }

After careful examination of the wave physics, it is discovered that both longitudinal and transverse waves need to be carefully included in EDAR analysis.

It occurs at the layer interface due to the poor bond quality between adjacent asphalt concrete layers and/or when stresses at the layer interface exceed the strengths of the material at the interface. The debonding of the adjacent layers, especially the top surface layer of an asphalt pavement, is a contributing factor to the premature cracking of pavements. Hence, the debonding distress can lead to a reduction in the life of the pavement. This paper presents an analytical and experimental framework to evaluate the potential for debonding at the layer interface of asphalt concrete pavements. Computational analysis was performed to determine the critical stress and strain states in layered asphalt pavements under moving vehicle loads using the Layered ViscoElastic pavement analysis for Critical Distresses (LVECD) computer program developed at North Carolina State University. This computational analysis enables a greater understanding of the critical stress that is involved in debonding and the ways that such stress is affected by pavement design parameters and environmental conditions. In addition, a prediction model was developed that can determine the shear bond strength at the interface of asphalt concrete layers with different tack coat materials at various temperatures, loading rates and normal confining stresses. The systematic and mechanistic framework developed in this study employs the maximum shear ratio concept as a shear failure criterion and provides a tool to evaluate the effects of various loading, environmental and pavement factors on the debonding potential of asphalt pavements. The overall advantages of the mechanistic framework and approach using the LVECD analysis tool will help lead to better understanding of the debonding mechanism, proper selection of the tack coats, and economic benefit in highway pavement maintenance and rehabilitation costs.}, number={12}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PAVEMENT ENGINEERING}, author={Cho, Seong-Hwan and Karshenas, Afshin and Tayebali, Akhtarhusein A. and Guddati, Murthy N. and Kim, Y.

By applying the algorithm to scanned aggregate structures, we show that the generated air voids not only look visually similar to actual air voids, but also are effective in capturing modulus reduction. The algorithm is included in a virtual aggregate structure generation framework, resulting in a streamlined virtual fabrication procedure for asphalt concrete that can qualitatively capture the effects of accelerated degradation due to the presence of air voids.}, number={3}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PAVEMENT ENGINEERING}, author={Dehghan Banadaki, Arash and Guddati, Murthy N. and Kim, Y.

Using the simple observation of time-scale separation between evolution of pavement damage/rutting, temperature variation and traffic load variation, the analysis under millions of cycles is reduced to a few hundred analyses of stress and strain evolution under a single cycle of moving load. A new method called Fourier-finite element (FFE) method is proposed for each independent stress analysis. Essentially, Fourier analysis is used to eliminate the time dimension as well as the spatial dimension in the direction of traffic, reducing the problem to a set of two-dimensional problems, which are in turn solved using the finite element method (FEM). The FFE method is more efficient than direct three-dimensional (3D) FEM by orders of magnitude, but captures the 3D effects in an accurate manner.

Key to the effectiveness of inversion is the efficiency and accuracy of computing the dispersion curves and their derivatives. This paper presents improved methodologies for both dispersion curve and derivative computation. First, it is shown that the dispersion curves can be computed more efficiently by combining an unconventional complex-length finite element method (CFEM) to model the finite depth layers, with perfectly matched discrete layers (PMDL) to model the unbounded half-space. Second, based on analytical derivatives for theoretical dispersion curves, an approximate derivative is derived for the so-called effective dispersion curve for realistic geophysical surface response data. The new derivative computation has a smoothing effect on the computation of derivatives, in comparison with traditional finite difference (FD) approach, and results in faster convergence. In addition, while the computational cost of FD differentiation is proportional to the number of model parameters, the new differentiation formula has a computational cost that is almost independent of the number of model parameters. At the end, as confirmed by synthetic and real-life imaging examples, the combination of CFEM + PMDL for dispersion calculation and the new differentiation formula results in more accurate estimates of the subsurface characteristics than the traditional methods, at a small fraction of computational effort.}, number={2}, journal={GEOPHYSICAL JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL}, author={Astaneh, Ali Vaziri and Guddati, Murthy N.}, year={2016}, month={Aug}, pages={1410–1423} }

This method has also been applied to arteries, but care must be taken in this application because waves produced in the arterial wall are guided waves. To obtain accurate measurements of mechanical properties of arteries, guided wave inversion can be used, where experimental wave dispersion is iteratively matched with theoretical dispersion curves. In this paper we study wave propagation in three sets of rubber tubes with different mechanical properties, and compare their measured and theoretical dispersion curves. Three sets of tubes were made with outer diameters of 8 mm and wall thicknesses of 1 mm to mimic an adult carotid artery. A different rubber mixture was used for each set of tubes, VytaFlex 10, VytaFlex20, and ReoFlex 30. Reference samples were also poured for testing with hyper-frequency viscoelastic spectroscopy (HFVS) instrument for measurement of the material complex modulus. Wave propagation measurements were made with a Verasonics system and linear array with water inside and surrounding the tubes. Acoustic radiation force was used to generate the waves with a 200 μs push at 4.1 MHz and plane wave imaging at a frame rate of 14.9 kHz was used for measuring the propagating waves. A two-dimensional Fourier transform method was used to extract the dispersion curves from the measured particle velocity. Theoretical dispersion curves for flexural modes with circumferential wavenumber n = 1, 2, 3 were calculated from the material properties measured with HFVS for comparison with the ultrasound-based results. The measured dispersion curve matches well with theoretical results. However, the match is not with a single theoretical dispersion curve, but with different theoretical curves at different frequencies. This new approach of matching with multiple theoretical curves can be used for better understanding of wave propagation in arterial walls and improved characterization of their mechanical properties.}, booktitle={2016 ieee international ultrasonics symposium (ius)}, author={Urban, M.

Triaxial compression cyclic tests carried out for long rest periods, with different loading times and two different pulse shapes, square and haversine, were used in developing and validating the model. These tests demonstrate that the evolution of permanent deformation depends on load history. This history-dependent behavior is not captured accurately by some of the existing Perzyna-type viscoplastic models in which permanent deformation evolution depends on the current values of stress and viscoplastic strain. Therefore, in this study, viscoelastic-like convolution integrals were used in the model to capture the effect of history. The proposed model is applicable to compressive creep and recovery experiments at 54 °C with (1) several hundreds of cycles of loading including the secondary creep region, (2) haversine loading shapes at three different peak deviatoric stress levels, 620 kPa, 827 kPa, and 1034 kPa, and square loading shapes at 827 kPa peak deviatoric stress, and (3) long rest periods that allow complete viscoelastic recovery.}, journal={MECHANICS OF MATERIALS}, author={Subramanian, Vijay and Guddati, Murthy N. and Kim, Y.

A proper failure criterion should consistently predict the failure of the material that reaches macro-fracture. A previously developed criterion that uses the viscoelastic continuum damage (VECD) model exhibits high variability and is considered to be inefficient because it requires calibration tests at different temperatures. In this paper, a new concept that involves released pseudo strain energy is introduced. This released pseudo strain energy concept focuses on the dissipated energy that is related to stiffness reduction only and is fully compatible and predictable using the VECD model. A characteristic relationship is found between the stable rate of pseudo energy release during testing and the final fatigue life of the same mixture, independent of strain amplitude and temperature. Based on these observations, a new failure criterion is proposed. The proposed failure criterion combines the advantages of the VECD model and this characteristic relationship, which both originate from fundamental mixture properties, and is able to predict the fatigue life of asphalt concrete mixtures across different temperatures and strain amplitudes.}, journal={ROAD MATERIALS AND PAVEMENT DESIGN}, author={Zhang, Jun and Sabouri, Mohammadreza and Guddati, Murthy N. and Kim, Y.

To predict permanent deformation of asphalt concrete, repeated creep and recovery (or flow number) tests are typically used in the laboratory. However, models for the prediction of permanent deformation that incorporate flow number testing cannot represent the primary region because they concentrate on the secondary region. A new simple permanent deformation model called the incremental model is proposed. The proposed model is derived from the rate model, which is a rigorous mechanical model based on viscoplasticity. Four parameters of the new model provide an understanding of the permanent deformation. Parameter A is related to the initial permanent strain level, and Parameter C provides information about where the secondary region starts. That is, Parameters A and C govern the primary region, where α (alpha) is the slope of the secondary region, and B represents the permanent deformation level of the secondary region. Two mixtures are selected to investigate the deformation characteristics, and repeated creep and recovery tests are performed in compression. The incremental model is verified by applying it to various loading conditions for two mixtures. Furthermore, it is found that α is the material constant and the time-temperature superposition principle is applicable to each parameter. All parameters, except a, depend on both deviatoric stress and reduced load time, which is the product of load time and temperature. The incremental model describes ways to apply the time-temperature supposition principle to permanent deformation. }, number={2296}, journal={TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD}, author={Choi, Yeong-Tae and Subramanian, Vijay and Guddati, Murthy N. and Kim, Y.

By developing a finite element mesh that approximates the stiffness of an unbounded domain directly (without approximating the far-field displacement profile first), the current formulation provides a superior alternative to infinite elements (IEs) that have long been used to incorporate unbounded domains into the finite element method (FEM). In contrast to most IEs, the present formulation (a) requires no new shape functions or special integration rules, (b) is proved to be both accurate and efficient, and (c) is versatile enough to handle a large variety of domains including those with anisotropic, stratified media and convex polygonal corners. In addition to this, the proposed model leads to the derivation of a simple error expression that provides an explicit correlation between the mesh parameters and the accuracy achieved. This error expression can be used to calculate the accuracy of a given mesh a-priori.

The ABC analyzed in this paper is the perfectly matched discrete layers (PMDL), a simple variant of perfectly matched layers (PML) that is also equivalent to rational approximation based ABCs. Specifically, we derive the necessary and sufficient condition for the well-posedness of the initial boundary value problem (IBVP) obtained by coupling an interior and a PMDL ABC. The derivation of the reflection coefficient presented in a companion paper (S. Savadatti, M.N. Guddati, J. Comput. Phys., 2010, doi:10.1016/j.jcp.2010.05.018) has shown that PMDL can correctly identify and accurately absorb outgoing waves with opposing signs of group and phase velocities provided the PMDL layer lengths satisfy a certain bound. Utilizing the well-posedness theory developed by Kreiss for general hyperbolic IBVPs, and the well-posedness conditions for ABCs derived by Trefethen and Halpern for isotropic acoustics, we show that this bound on layer lengths also ensures well-posedness. The time discretized form of PMDL is also shown to be theoretically stable and some instability related to finite precision arithmetic is discussed.}, number={18}, journal={JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS}, author={Savadatti, Siddharth and Guddati, Murthy N.}, year={2010}, month={Sep}, pages={6644–6662} }

One such model, the viscoelastic continuum damage model, is used in this study to examine the fatigue performance of asphalt concrete mixtures. A mathematically rigorous exploration is undertaken to specialise the model for easy prediction and characterisation using cyclic fatigue tests on cylindrical specimens. This process reveals that certain theoretical shortcomings are evident in other similar models and corrects them with a newly developed model.

A seabed-rubble-caisson breakwater system is modeled using finite elements. The dynamic response of the porous seabed-rubble foundation is assumed to be governed by the Biot’s equations of coupled flow and deformation. Three possible formulations (fully dynamic, partly dynamic and quasi-static) are considered with respect to the inclusion of inertial terms associated with the motion of fluid and solids. The response is presented in terms of stress and pore pressure distributions at three locations underneath the breakwater. The instability of seabed and rubble mound due to instantaneous liquefaction is also studied. The effects of seabed and wave parameters and the effect of inertial terms on the standing wave-induced dynamic response and instability of the system are investigated through a set of parametric studies. Analyses show that quasi-static and partly dynamic formulations yield similar results while the fully dynamic formulation provides different response.

This paper presents the derivation of MD-PMDL for general lattice systems, followed by explicit application to one-dimensional and two-dimensional square lattice systems. The accuracy of MD-PMDL for phonon absorption is proven by analyzing reflection coefficients, and demonstrated through numerical experiments.

Owing to their high accuracy in representing waves propagating in an arbitrarily wide range of angles, the resulting equations are named Arbitrarily Wide-angle Wave Equations (AWWEs). In order to illustrate the proposed procedure, AWWEs are derived for one-way propagation in acoustic as well as elastic media. While acoustic AWWEs can be considered as modified versions of well-known space-domain OWWEs based on rational approximations of the square root operator, the elastic AWWEs are significantly different from the existing elastic OWWEs.
