Models Predicting When and How Roads Will Deteriorate
Heriberto Perez, a researcher at the UPV/EHU's Faculty of Engineering-Bilbao, has developed behavior models able to predict the future deterioration of roads. The models focus on two different aspects, the international roughness index (IRI) and the coefficient of transverse friction....
A very simple estimate of adhesion with rough surfaces based on a bearing area model
Here we present an abstract to the paper addressing a simplified model for adhesion between hard rough solids. Abstract In the present note, we suggest a single-line equation estimate for adhesion between elastic (hard) rough solids with Gaussian multiple scales...
Say “modeling” not “simulation”
Richard M. Stallman, founder and president of the Free Software Foundation and founding father of the GNU Project, has a long been repeating “say GNU, not Linux” although he has not had much success. In the same sense, from this corner of the world I will...
