Ways of application of the provisions of mechanics of bodies with cracks to the calculation of asphalt concrete on strength and plasticity

The report discusses the principles of two major theories of fracture mechanics of bodies with cracks, which include the theory of accumulation of damage Kachanov–Rabotnov and theory of brittle fracture Griffith–Irwin, including the invariant integral Cherepanov–Rice, describing the criterion of growth the crack. To assess the application of these theories to the calculation of asphalt concrete, laboratory test data are given and based on their...
