how to model granular layer of flexible pavement with the k-theta model in ansys workbench?

stefano_migliaro · December 2020

Hi everyone, i'm trying to model in ANSYS Workbench a flexible pavement and i want to use an elastic non-linear model for the granular layers like k-theta model, but i don't know how to do it.

Any help is appreciated.

Here is a paper on the k-theta model for those that want to know what that is.
