Ground-borne noise and vibration from railway lines can cause human distress/annoyance,
and also negatively affect real estate property values. Therefore this paper analyses a …

This paper is a review of the effect of vehicle characteristics on ground-and track borne-
vibrations from railways. It combines traditional theory with modern thinking and uses a …

Among all the recent improvements in the railway industry, ground vibration remains an
important showstopper in metropolitan cities. In some particular cases, significant levels of …

Understanding the dynamics of railway vehicles, and indeed of the entire vehicle-track
system, is critical to ensuring safe and economical operation of modern railways. As the …

There is a great need to develop rail networks over long distances and within cities as more
sustainable transport options. However, noise and vibration are seen as a negative …

Beam on elastic foundation theory is widely employed when studying railway track
behaviour, for applications such as track dynamics, and noise and vibration. At a basic level …

This paper reviews, synthesises and benchmarks new understandings relating to railway
vibrations. Firstly, the effect of vibrations on passenger comfort is evaluated, followed by its …

The paper presents an efficient method for estimating the dynamic response of buildings
due to train operations in tunnel. The proposed method involves four models to consider the …

In this paper, a general and fully three dimensional multi-body-finite element-boundary
element model, formulated in the time domain to predict vibrations due to train passage at …

Ground vibration is an important aspect of the environmental impact of rail traffic. Vibration
from about 2–200Hz is caused by trains moving on the ground surface or in tunnels. The …
