Book Description
The problem of environmental vibrations induced by moving traffic loads, is today increasingly one of the fundamental problems to be solved in traffic line planning and design, because they not only influence the living and working of human beings, but also make many high-tech projects unable to work normally. Since the effects of various transportation sources are different, and soil properties play a critical role in the propagation of vibrations, the problem of environmental vibrations is very complex. This book contains the research of the authors via fundamental theories, numerical simulations and field experiments. The main contents include the basic theory and analysis approaches in traffic-induced environmental vibrations, prediction and mitigation through ballast mats of rail traffic induced track-ground vibrations, railway traffic induced ground vibration and its prediction approaches, numerical modeling of vibrations induced by rail traffic in tunnels, investigation of train-induced ground vibrations using FEM and field experiments, human induced vibrations of pedestrian bridges and their prevention, prediction of environmental vibration from underground trains, numerical evaluation on train-induced ground vibration around high-speed railway viaducts, vibration isolation by ground barriers, environmental vibration induced by elevated railway traffic, and train induced vibration in elevated railway stations.

Mitigation of Traffic-induced Bridge Vibrations Through Passive and Semi-active Control Devices

Pages : 56
Book Description
Many of the U.S. bridges today are reaching or have reached their design life and are beginning to deteriorate and are becoming structurally deficient. Much time, effort, money, and resources go into repairing, rehabilitating, or reconstructing these bridges. Therefore, investigation into valid solutions to extending the safe life of these structures is of utmost importance. A major cause of bridge deterioration is stresses and fatigue induced in the bridge from traffic loading. This paper explores and investigates methods of mitigating traffic-induced bridge vibrations through the integration of control devices to extend the service life of bridges. There are three main classes of structural control devices: passive, semi-active, and active control. Each control scheme has advantages and disadvantages which are discussed in this thesis. To gain a better understanding of both passive and semi-active control strategies, a computer simulation is conducted. The computer simulation allows for a better comparison between passive and semi-active control schemes. The finding from the simulation shows a semi-active control strategy outperforming a passive strategy. The semi-active scheme reduces maximum midspan deflections by 20%, while the passive has a reduction of 12%.

Book Description
Two of the most acclaimed reference works in the area of acoustics in recent years have been our Encyclopedia of Acoustics, 4 Volume set and the Handbook of Acoustics spin-off. These works, edited by Malcolm Crocker, positioned Wiley as a major player in the acoustics reference market. With our recently published revision of Beranek & Ver's Noise and Vibration Control Engineering, Wiley is a highly respected name in the acoustics business. Crocker's new handbook covers an area of great importance to engineers and designers. Noise and vibration control is one largest areas of application of the acoustics topics covered in the successful encyclopedia and handbook. It is also an area that has been under-published in recent years. Crocker has positioned this reference to cover the gamut of topics while focusing more on the applications to industrial needs. In this way the book will become the best single source of need-to-know information for the professional markets.
