This paper presents an experimental work on active control of sound transmission through a restricted opening bottom hinged window. The main goal of the work is to demonstrate the feasibility of the active technique to ...

This article elaborates on an extension to the classical stiffness matrix method to obtain the Green's functions for two-and-a-half dimensional (2.5D) elastodynamic problems in homogeneous and horizontally layered half-spaces. ...

This thesis focuses on the development of an analytical model for the generation and propagation parts of a global model of ground induced vibrations to be used in preliminary assessment studies for the case of at-grade ...

This paper presents a comparison between the vibration energy flow radiated by a double-deck tunnel and the one radiated by a simple tunnel when both are excited by constant or by harmonic moving loads. For both cases, the ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of Dynamic Vibration Absorbers (DVAs) as a vibration abatement solution for railway-induced vibrations in the framework of a double-deck circular railway tunnel ...

The prediction of vibration impact remains as a complex challenge for designers of new railway infrastructures. Due to the large quantity of parameters involved in the generation, transmission and reception of the vibration ...

This paper presents an experimental study based on the active control of sound transmission through narrow opening of a casament window below. The main objective of the paper is to demostrate the feasibility of the ...

Construction machinery used in public works is a source of noise and vibration that generate annoyance to the surrounding residential buildings. Thus, prediction of noise and vibration levels that will be induced by these ...

This paper proposes a new efficient model for the prediction of low-amplitude ground-borne vibrations in buildings. The model takes into account the three-dimensional nature of the building structure by analytical and ...

The use of elastomeric particles obtained from old tires to produce anti-vibration mats to reduce vibrations in railways is studied. In the first part of this work a numerical simulation for dimensioning the element has ...
