The deformation behavior of hot mix asphalt (HMA) in the indirect tension test (IDT) is simulated using the discrete element method (DEM). The internal structure of the HMA is described using two sets of discrete particles representing the aggregates and the binder. The constitutive behavior of these materials is defined using linear elastic properties along with a damage model to capture debo…
