Vehicle-guideway interaction in rigid airport pavements with discontinuities

A finite element method of analysis for the dynamic interaction of aircraft and rigid pavements is presented in this study. The rigid pavement is modeled as a series of discontinuous thin plates resting on a vicoeleastic foundation. At the discontinuities, load transfer devices are modeled as vertic...
