Abstract
The development of a hollow cylinder tensile test (HCT) system, including the sealing system used to retain the cavity pressurizing membrane, was described. The procedure to remove bulk fluid compression and other sources contributing to system compressibility from the computation was analyzed. The volume-based strain measurement system was evaluated by comparing volume-based strain measurements to strain gage results for reference specimens of Delrin plastic. A series of two-dimensional discrete element models were developed based upon actual asphalt concrete microstructures, which were used to simulate the complex modulus test.
