Wave Propagation for Train-induced Vibrations

Download or read book Wave Propagation for Train-induced Vibrations written by Yeong-Bin Yang and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2009 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For buildings and factories located near railway or subway lines, the vibrations caused by the moving trains, especially at high speeds, may be annoying to the residents or detrimental to the high-precision production lines. However, there is a lack of simple and efficient tools for dealing with the kind of environmental vibrations, concerning simulation of the radiation of infinite boundaries; irregularities in soils, buildings and wave barriers; and dynamic properties of the moving vehicles. This book is intended to fill such a gap.
