New Research on Acoustics
Author: Benjamin N. Weiss
Publisher: Nova Publishers
ISBN: 9781604564037
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
Acoustics is the science concerned with the production, control, transmission, reception, and effects of sound. Its origins began with the study of mechanical vibrations and the radiation of these vibrations through mechanical waves, and still continue today. Research was done to look into the many aspects of the fundamental physical processes involved in waves and sound and into possible applications of these processes in modern life. The study of sound waves also leads to physical principles that can be applied to the study of all waves. The broad scope of acoustics as an area of interest and endeavour can be ascribed to a variety of reasons. First, there is the ubiquitous nature of mechanical radiation, generated by natural causes and by human activity. Then, there is the existence of the sensation of hearing, of the human vocal ability, of communication via sound, along with the variety of psychological influences sound has on those who hear it. Such areas as speech, music, sound recording and reproduction.

System Dynamics and Long-Term Behaviour of Railway Vehicles, Track and Subgrade
Author: Karl Popp
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540438922
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
During the last decades completely new technologies for high speed railway vehicles have been developed. The primary goals have been to increase traction, axle load, and travelling speed, and to guarantee safety of the passengers. However, the new developments have revealed new limitations: settlement and destruction of the ballast and the subgrade lead to deterioration of the track; irregular wear of the wheels cause an increase in overall load and deterioration of passengers comfort; damage of the running surfaces of the rail and the wheel becomes more frequent. This problems have been investigated in the Priority Programme SPP 1015 supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), aiming at a better understanding of the dynamic interaction of vehicle and track and the long-term behaviour of the components of the system. The book contains the scientific results of the programme as presented at the concluding colloquium held at University of Stuttgart, Germany, March 13-15, 2002.

Analysis of the Static and Dynamic Characteristics of Composite Rubber and Concrete Sleepers on Ballasted Track
Author: Zeng Zhiping
Publisher: Scientific Research Publishing, Inc. USA
ISBN: 1649979258
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
The vibrations of railway track occur because of extreme impact load conditions due to the train operations with either wheel or rail irregularity. The vibrations result in track deterioration and severe environmental influences. Therefore, an urgent need exists to manufacture a sleeper/tie to mitigate these effects. This study used a fullscale model with different kinds of sleepers to measure the vibration mitigation attributes and dynamic characteristics of recently recycled rubber composite sleepers (RCSs) when applied to ballasted railway tracks and compared them with well-established concrete sleepers (CSs). A high-capacity drop hammer weight impact test was used to achieve this purpose, and the vibration effects on the track structural elements were analyzed. Two cases and a series of interaction force height (IFHs) impacts for both sleepers were applied.
