title = "An adaptive frequency domain finite element model for surface wave testing of pavements",
abstract = "The proposed adaptive frequency domain finite element (FE) model makes it possible to simulate wave propagation in a pavement structure over a wide frequency range using a normal size computer. The geometry and mesh size are optimized and regenerated for each frequency using a simple script in a commercial FE software package. Results from the FE model agree well with normal mode dispersion curves for a 3-layer reference pavement model. The proposed approach is fast and computationally efficient and intended to be used as a forward model for iterative surface wave inversion.",
