A probabilistic approach to detect structural problems in flexible pavement sections at network level assessment [PDF]

, 2021
Presently, most of the road agencies use Non-Destructive (NDT) tools to help them prioritise pavement maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) activities at the network level, thus optimising the limited budgetary resources. One of the most widely used NDT

Influence of Geometric Design on Mechanical Performance of Auxetic Metastructure

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Strategic geometric reinforcement transforms auxetic performance. This study evaluates 3D‐printed arrowhead metastructures, revealing that a modified design with local ring reinforcement suppresses premature failure to achieve superior energy absorption and structural efficiency.

Development of structural deterioration models for flexible pavement using traffic speed deflectometer data

, 2021
A road's performance is influenced by several factors. Owing to the limited availability of structural data, road agencies are forced to use rutting and fatigue cracking data as a substitute for structural bearing capacity to identify rehabilitation ...

Mechanical Behavior and Fracture Mechanisms of MXene/PVDF Nanocomponsites: In Situ Characterization and Multiscale Analysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Multiscale experiments and modeling reveal how Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets reinforce PVDF nanocomposites. An optimal MXene loading (∼1 wt.%) nearly doubles tensile strength through efficient stress transfer, flake alignment, and crack‐deflection mechanisms, transforming ductile polymer behavior into a controlled multi‐stage fracture pathway which aligns ...

Simultaneous analysis of structural reliability and parameter sensitivity of flexible pavements

Case Studies in Construction Materials
To account for the influence of uncertainties in pavement design, adopting a probabilistic limit state-based approach for asphalt pavement structural design is currently the prevailing solution. However, due to the numerous parameters involved in asphalt

Texoskeletons: Developing the Fundamental Technologies for Creating Intelligent Soft Robotic Clothing With Integrated 1D Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional wearable exoskeletons rely on rigid structures, which limit comfort, flexibility, and everyday usability. This work introduces the fundamental technologies to create the first soft, lightweight, intelligent textile‐based exoskeletons (Texoskeletons) built using 1D sensors and actuators.
