Vibration damping to control railroad wheel squeal [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1983
The squeal noise radiated by rapid transit wheels on sharp turns is an important instance of friction generated noise. It is caused by the lateral slip-stick frictional force between the wheel and railhead. Noise control methods such as rail lubrication, hard faced rails, tuned wheel dampers, and resilient wheels have not been entirely satisfactory ...

Analysis of Ground Vibration near a Railroad

open access: yesThe 9th International Symposium on Recent Advances in Exploration Geophysics (RAEG 2005), 2005
The ground vibration generated by the Shinkansen, Japanese super express train,can be problematic for people and structures nearby. The purpose of this study is to make clear the mechanism of the ground vibration generated by a train and to develop a numerical simulation tool which can quantitatively evaluate the effect of wave filtering. This study is

Experience in the use of seismic recording of vibrations from trains to evaluate the condition of buildings and structures

open access: yesВестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспорта, 2017
Constructions along railway traffic lines are always exposed to vinrations generated by the passing transport. This sometimes leads to shifts in their state even threatening the comfort of the people that stay here.

Vibration diagnostics of transportation structures on railroads

open access: yesVibroengineering Procedia
The article presents the results of the natural frequencies of vibrations of the span structure during the express-diagnostics, to excite the process of vibrations of the structure the pulse impact of the concentrated load of small mass is applied in the middle of the span structure (the method of small pulse impacts – “human jump”).

Predictive modeling analysis of the degree and scope of damage impacts on villagers' self-built houses due to uneven unsaturated soil site vibrations induced by self-dropping heavy hammer percussive hole formation construction

open access: yesResults in Engineering
When highways and railroads traverse rural residential areas where impact hole-forming construction vibrations tend to cause damage to houses, it is difficult to accurately assess the extent of vibration impacts on non-uniform unsaturated soil sites by ...

Railroad Impact in Backward Economies: Spain, 1850-1913 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This article reassesses the economic impact of Spanish railroads in 1850-1913, which has been usually considered to be substantially higher than in the most developed countries on the basis of the social saving methodology.

Terahertz Channel Modeling, Estimation and Localization in RIS‐Assisted Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces have become a recent intensive research focus. Based on practical applications, channel strategies for RIS‐assisted terahertz wireless communication systems are categorized into three different types: channel modeling, channel estimation, and channel localization.

Integrating Remote Sensing, Archaeological Survey and Geophysical Prospections for the Enhancement of Roman Doclea, Montenegro

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Roman city of Doclea is a key archaeological site of Montenegro, valued for its impressive remains and its role in the nation's cultural identity within European and the Mediterranean history. Doclea was the second‐largest city in the province of Roman Dalmatia, a municipium created in the first century ad and named after the Illyrian ...
