Railway Noise and Vibration provides a complete overview of the state-of-the-art in rail noise and vibration theory and modeling.
The book describes each source of noise and vibration-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 applications, 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, for freight and for suburban metros and light-rail. With noise problems all too often dealt with inefficiently due to lack of understanding of the problem, Railway Noise and Vibration is an invaluable reference for all those working with noise and vibration from railways, whether in industry, consultancy or academic research.
