wherein f (t) is a function expression of the dynamic modulus in the time domain; f (omega) is a function expression of the dynamic modulus in the frequency domain; l is Laplace operation symbol, j represents imaginary unit, j 2 = 1, β represents the real part of the complex laplace variable, and ω represents the frequency variable.
(5) And the model parameters obtained by the calculation correspond to the local areas one by one, and then the model parameters are written into an input file. And importing an input file in finite element software to establish a model.
(6) Reasonable model boundary conditions are applied to the established model. In this embodiment, a road structure macroscopic model with a length, width and height of 6m × 3m is established, wherein the topmost layer is an asphalt mixture surface layer and the thickness is 5cm; secondly, a semi-rigid cement stabilized macadam foundation layer is arranged, and the thickness is 30cm; the bottommost layer is a soil base layer and is 265cm in thickness. Due to the fact that the size of the mixture macro model is too large, in order to save operation time, only the structure with the geometric size of 30cm 5cm is selected at the middle position of the mixture surface layer to be subjected to scratching and removing treatment, then the micro structure local homogenization model is embedded into the asphalt mixture surface layer, and the macro pavement structure is used for applying constraint on the boundary of the micro structure model, so that cross-scale coupling analysis of the macro and micro structure of the asphalt pavement is achieved. The surface layer, the base layer and the soil base layer of the rest of the mixture are all of uniform structures. In order to simulate the real stress condition of the pavement structure, rigid constraint conditions are applied to the side surface boundary and the lower bottom surface boundary of the macrostructure. The road macrostructure and boundary conditions are shown in fig. 5.
(7) The upper surface of the macroscopic model does not exert any constraint, and the simulated road surface bears the load of the vehicle. In the vehicle load simulation process, the contact surface of a vehicle tire and a road surface is assumed to be a circle with the diameter of 20cm, the wheel load is 700kPa, and the moving speed of the vehicle is 60km/h. Therefore, a circular surface load with the diameter of 20cm can be defined on the road surface in the model, the surface load is 700kPa, and meanwhile, the surface load moves at a constant speed on the surface of the model at the speed of 16.667m/s so as to simulate the loading behavior of the dynamic vehicle.
Fig. 6 shows the partial simulation result of the mesostructure model. The model can be seen to show the stress characteristic of the asphalt pavement structure on the macroscopic scale; at the same time, there are very obvious non-uniform stress concentration phenomena (the dotted circle in fig. 6) on the microscopic scale, and the stress concentration phenomena are mainly caused by the non-uniform microscopic structure in the mixture. Therefore, the proposed local homogenization model numerical analysis method can reasonably represent the inhomogeneous microscopic mechanical response in the asphalt mixture on the premise of considering the macroscopic mechanical characteristics of the pavement structure. Moreover, the boundary of the microscopic structure model is constrained by the macroscopic structure of the asphalt pavement, so that the macroscopic and microscopic cross-scale coupling research of the asphalt pavement is realized. The internal mesomechanics performance and the evolution mechanism of the pavement structure are revealed on the premise of bearing the vehicle load. The method lays a foundation for future scientific research personnel to carry out pavement structure optimization design, pavement service performance prediction and intelligent pavement maintenance system construction.
