Synopses & Reviews
This volume contains the contributions to the 10th International Workshop on Railway Noise, held Oct 18-22, 2010, in Nagahama, Japan. The workshop featured lectures by international leaders in the field of railway noise and vibration. All subjects relating to railway noise as noise sources (rolling noise, aerodynamic noise, bridge noise, sonic boom), prediction tools and theoretical models, new noise reduction, technology as well as ground-borne vibration are tackled.
Review
From the reviews: "This book is the latest reference available for any engineers or researchers working in the field of railway noise and vibration. ... The book has many simple illuminating figures, diagrams, and tables; well organized summaries; and practical tips on related subjects ... . I strongly recommend this collection, which can be used as a valuable reference for practitioners of railway noise and vibration prediction and control." (Hongan Xu, Noise Control Engineering Journal, Vol. 60 (3), May-June, 2012)
