Produktbeschreibung

Railway Noise and Vibration: Mechanisms, Modelling, and Means of Control, 2nd Edition provides a complete overview of the state of the art in rail noise and vibration theory and modelling. This book describes each source of noise and vibration, such as rolling noise, curve squeal, bridge noise, aerodynamic noise, ground vibration and ground-borne noise, and vehicle interior noise in a systematic way, covering relevant theoretical modelling approaches and their practical implementation, with extensive examples of noise control technology applied at source. Noise and vibration are key obstacles to further development of railway networks worldwide for high-speed intercity traffic, freight and suburban metros and light-rail systems. With noise problems all too often dealt with inefficiently due to a lack of understanding of the problem, this new edition is an invaluable reference for all those working with noise and vibration from railways, whether in industry, consultancy, or academic research.

. Introduces theoretical modelling approaches for each source in a tutorial fashion
. Discusses the theoretical basis and practical applications of railway noise control technology, summarising the latest research and key findings from recent decades in one concise resource
. Updated with new prediction models and methods, including more detail on ground vibration and aerodynamic noise

Autorenporträt

David Thompson is Professor of railway noise and vibration at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of Southampton, United Kingdom. He has worked in the field of railway noise since 1980, with British Rail Research in Derby, United Kingdom, and the TNO Institute of Applied Physics in the Netherlands, before moving to Southampton in 1996. He was responsible for developing the TWINS software for predicting rolling noise.
