Abstract: Ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology is used for nondestructive testing of roads. It relies on the processing and analysis of electromagnetic waves reflected due to the differences in dielectric properties encountered ...

Abstract: Accurate measurement and calculation of the dielectric constant of asphalt mixture serve as fundamental steps for enhancing the precision of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) in asphalt pavement quality inspection. To establish ...

Abstract: This paper extends the idea of using nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBS) based shape functions in the scaled boundary finite-element method (SBFEM) to plate bending formulations, which inherits the advantages of the ...
