   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, nondestructive surface wave measurements are presented for characterization of dynamic modulus and layer thickness on different pavements and cement concrete slabs. Air-coupled microphones enable rapid data acquisition without physical contact with the pavement surface. LÄS MER

7. 5. Summation-by-Parts Finite Difference Methods for Wave Propagation and Earthquake Modeling

   Författare :Vidar Stiernström; Ken Mattsson; Mark H. Carpenter; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Finite difference method; high-order accuracy; stability; summation-by-parts; wave propagation; earthquake modeling; inverse problems; Beräkningsvetenskap med inriktning mot numerisk analys; Scientific Computing with specialization in Numerical Analysis;

   Sammanfattning : Waves manifest in many areas of physics, ranging from large-scale seismic waves in geophysics down to particle descriptions in quantum physics. Wave propagation may often be described mathematically by partial differential equations (PDE). Unfortunately, analytical solutions to PDEs are in many cases notoriously difficult to obtain. LÄS MER
