Recent Developments

This Special Issue “Recent Advances and Future Trends in Pavement Engineering” has been proposed and organized to present recent developments in the field of innovative pavement materials and engineering. For this reason, the articles and state-of-the-art reviews highlighted in this editorial relate to different aspects of pavement engineering, from recycled asphalt pavements to alkali-activated materials, from hot mix asphalt concrete to porous asphalt concrete, from interface bonding to modal analysis, from destructive testing to non-destructive pavement monitoring by using fiber optics sensors.

The performance of asphalt concrete mixtures is influenced by the properties of the included aggregates, such as grading, shape (angularity and elongation), and texture (roughness). Complete and accurate quantification of aggregate properties is essential for understanding their influence on asphalt concrete and for selecting aggregates to produce high-quality paving mixtures. Recent developments in the use of digital image analysis techniques for quantifying aggregate morphological characteristics in asphalt concrete are summarized. Image morphological characteristics were used to quantify flatness and elongation of coarse aggregates, to estimate the proportion of natural sand in fine aggregates, and to correlate aggregate characteristics with engineering properties of asphalt concrete mixtures. Image analysis of sections also revealed information about the grading, shape, and orientation of coarse aggregates in a mixture. An overview is presented of the broad range of useful pavement engineering applications of this relatively new approach for evaluating aggregate characteristics.

AbstractThis is an introduction to the first eight articles in this volume that contains the special issue on Recent Advances in PDE: Theory, Computations and Applications. These peer-reviewed articles address recent developments in the areas of convection-diffusion-reaction problems, stabilizability of control systems with application to Oseen problems, obstacle problems, multigrid methods for quad-curl problems and discontinuous Petrov–Galerkin methods for spectral approximations. Some of the contributors of these articles were plenary speakers of the conference organized in honor of the numerical analyst Professor Amiya Kumar Pani. The conference was organized to acknowledge his outstanding contribution for the growth of applied mathematics in India.

The Special Issue “Non-Destructive Testing of Structures” has been proposed to present recent developments in the field of diagnostics of structural materials and components in civil and mechanical engineering. The papers highlighted in this editorial concern various aspects of non-invasive diagnostics, including such topics as condition assessments of civil and mechanical structures and connections of structural elements, the inspection of cultural heritage monuments, the testing of structural materials, structural health monitoring systems, the integration of non-destructive testing methods, advanced signal processing for the non-destructive testing of structures (NDT), damage detection and damage imaging, as well as modeling and numerical analyses for supporting structural health monitoring (SHM) systems.
