Noise and Vibration Mitigation for Rail Transportation Systems [electronic resource] : Proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on RailwayNoise, Nagahama, Japan, 1822 October 2010 / edited by Tatsuo Maeda, Pierre-Etienne Gautier, Carl E. Hanson, Brian Hemsworth, James Tuman Nelson, Burkhard Schulte-Werning, David Thompson, Paul Vos.

This volume contains the contributions to the 10th International Workshop on Railway Noise, held October 1822, 2010, in Nagahama, Japan, organized by the Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI), Japan. With 11 sessions and 3 poster sessions, the workshop featured presentations by international leaders in the field of railway noise and vibration. All subjects relating to 1. prospects, legal regulation, and perception; 2. wheel and rail noise; 3. structure-borne noise and squeal noise; 4. ground-borne vibration; 5. aerodynamic noise and micro-pressure waves from tunnel portals; 6. interior noise and sound barriers; and 7. prediction, measurements, and monitoring are addressed here. This book is a useful ǣstate-of-the-artǥ reference for scientists and engineers involved in solving environmental problems of railways.
