Development of a coupled source and receiver model for vibrations due to urban railway traffic. KU Leuven
This dissertation addresses the development and ...
Ground-borne noise and vibration due to railway traffic is a problem oflarge societal and economical relevance. Railway induced vibrations aredue to several excitation mechanisms including wheel and rail unevenness, impact excitation due to rail joints and wheel flats, and parametric excitation due to spatial variation of the track stiffness.
Considerable progress has been made regarding the development of numerical prediction ...
It is common practice in civil engineering to use computational models in order to understand and predict the behaviour of a wide variety of structural systems. The dynamic interaction between structures and the soil often plays a crucial role and should be accounted for in numerical models, for example for the assessment of damage to structures caused by earthquakes, the evaluation of annoyance in buildings due to vibrations originating from ...
