A Study on Frequency Response Functions in Pavement Engineering by Filippo G. Pratico, Gianfranco Pellicano, Matteo Bolognese, Gaetano Licitra

“…Usually, the force is set through an impulse hammer as a master and the acceleration is measured through an accelerometer as a response in order to measure the corresponding Frequency Response Function (FRF). The objectives of the study presented in this paper are i) to analyse the differences between the axial mechanical impedance (complex ratio of force and velocity referred to the same point, named driving-point impedance) and the non-axial mechanical impedance (complex ratio of the force at the point i and velocity at the point j, named transfer impedance); ii) to analyse the effect of adding crumb rubber (2% by mixture weight) and of the percentage of bitumen on the mechanical impedance for the bituminous samples. …”
