Railways are an environmentally friendly means of transport well suited to modern
society. However, noise and vibration are key obstacles to further development of
the railway networks for high-speed intercity traffic, for freight and for suburban
metros and light-rail. All too often noise problems are dealt with inefficiently due
to lack of understanding of the problem. This book brings together coverage of the
theory of railway noise and vibration with practical applications of noise control
technology at source to solve noise and vibration problems from railways. Each source
of noise and vibration is described in a systematic way: rolling noise, curve squeal,
bridge noise, aerodynamic noise, ground vibration and ground-borne noise, and vehicle
interior noise. . Theoretical modelling approaches are introduced for each source
in a tutorial fashion . Practical applications of noise control technology are presented
using the theoretical models . Extensive examples of application to noise reduction
techniques are included Railway Noise and Vibration is a hard-working reference and
will be invaluable to all who have to deal with noise and vibration from railways,
whether working in the industry or in consultancy or academic research. David Thompson
is Professor of Railway Noise and Vibration at the Institute of Sound and Vibration
Research, University of Southampton. He has worked in the field of railway noise since
1980, with British Rail Research in Derby, UK, and 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. * Discusses fully the theoretical
background and practical workings of railway noise
