The self-healing mechanism of asphalt has always been a challenging issue for pavement engineers; up to now there is no general agreement on the fundamental mechanism. In this paper, combined with atomic force microscopy (AFM) technology, the self-healing mechanism of asphalt is simulated by using the phase-field model i ... Читать дальше »
