In recent years, the polyurethane (PU) was widely investigated and applied in pavement engineering as a sustainable binder to develop pavment materials with superior mechanical functional properties. However, two-component PU binders exhibit rapid curing thus it is difficult control material workability through paving compaction. Hence, precast mehtod concept has been proposed obtain good well ...

This work was motivated by the availability of a new ground truthed hyperspectral data set, freely accessible to the scientific community for target detection algorithm testing. In our research, we are interested in physics-based approaches to target detection, i.e. those techniques aimed at modeling the radiation transfer within the atmosphere in order to account for atmospheric/viewing/illumi...

In recent years, large composite structures have been used increasingly in the aerospace and naval industries. Such a large composite structure is mostly fabricated using the scarf joining technique so that multiple substructures can be connected together. Figure 1 shows three commonly used scarf joint configuration. Among the three, the step/overlap joint is considered as the strongest because...
