Frequency Response Modeling of Additive Friction Stir Deposition Parts with Print Defects
A change in a part's response to vibrations can be measured and utilized as a non-destructive testing method to detect deviations in the part's materials or geometry through processes such as laser acoustic resonance spectroscopy. This work focuses on leveraging vibration resonance to detect flaws …

Mechanistic-Empirical Modeling of Permanent Deformation in Asphalt Concrete Layers
… deformation in the semi-rigid section due to its response modeling sensitivity to overall pavement stiffness. Further, the results indicated that the relation between elastic and plastic material properties may change throughout the pavement life. The PEDRO model behavior due to lateral wander and …
