Mitigation of railway induced vibration using seismic metamaterials KU Leuven
Railways are a sustainable and climate-friendly means of transport, but vibration remains an environmental concern. We will investigate if seismic metamaterials installed on the propagation path between tracks and buildings can efficiently mitigate railway-induced vibration. Seismic metamaterials are artificially engineered composite materials consisting of an arrangement of cells that are installed on the surface or embedded in the soil; ...
