Résumé : |
Finite-element analysis is used to model the failure of thin-film butt-joint specimens of pure bitumen in tension for a wide range of test conditions (temperature and strain rate). The approach uses a powerful numerical scheme based on two components: a nonlinear viscous, temperature- and rate-dependent constitutive material model that describes the mechanical deformation behavior of bitumen, implemented into a special-purpose finite-element user material subroutine, and a cohesive zone model for simulating the fracture process. The finite-element model is validated by comparing computed fracture characterization parameters with experimental results. The predicted force versus displacement characteristics and the normalized toughness, G/2h, are found to compare favorably with experimental results in the ductile and brittle regimes, with the failure mode being accurately simulated. |
