Enhancing asphaltic mixtures with Calcined Nano Montmorillonite: A performance assessment (2023)
Journal Article
Albayati, A. H., Wang, Y., & Al-ani, A. F. (2024). Enhancing asphaltic mixtures with Calcined Nano Montmorillonite: A performance assessment. Case studies in construction materials, 20, e02713. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cscm.2023.e02713

There are increasing interest in using nanoclay particles to improve asphalt binder and the produced concrete in pavement engineering. However so far most of the study was to directly use the nanoclays in natural material conditions, which come with...

Experimental Study of Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Hydrated Lime Asphalt Concrete and Numerical Modelling of Constructed Pavement Performance (2023)
Thesis
Alashaibi, A. (2023). Experimental Study of Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Hydrated Lime Asphalt Concrete and Numerical Modelling of Constructed Pavement Performance. (Thesis). University of Salford

The flexible pavement suffers primarily from three types of distress: fatigue cracking, thermal cracking, and permanent deformation. Thermal effects from climate are a significant in distress and early aging of pavements, and particularly in extreme...

A mathematical model for the motion of a micro-robot consisting of three spheres linked with axially aligned retractable arms in Stokes flow that gives expressions for mean distance moved, mean drift velocity and energy efficiency of the non-reciprocal cyclic swimming motion (2023)
Journal Article
Elatrash, L., Chadwick, E., El-Mazuzi, R., Christian, J. M., Wang, Y., Adamu, H. A., & Chadwick, E. (in press). A mathematical model for the motion of a micro-robot consisting of three spheres linked with axially aligned retractable arms in Stokes flow that gives expressions for mean distance moved, mean drift velocity and energy efficiency of the non-reciprocal cyclic swimming motion. Computers and Fluids, 266, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compfluid.2023.106064

The problem studied was the non-reciprocal cyclic swimming motion of three spheres linked with axially aligned retractable arms in Stokes flow. The arms are assumed to be able to retract at a steady speed to half their length, and then at a later tim...

Experimental study of the effect of tack coats on interlayer bond strength of pavement (2023)
Journal Article
Ali, M., Wang, A., & Wang, Y. (in press). Experimental study of the effect of tack coats on interlayer bond strength of pavement. Sustainability, 15(8), 6600. https://doi.org/10.3390/su15086600

The performance and lifetime of the flexible asphalt pavement are mainly dependent on the interfacial bond strength between layer courses. To enhance the bond between layers, adhesive materials, such as tack coats, are used. The tack coat itself is a...
