An overview of structure-radiated noise and vibration assessment for elevated rail infrastructure
(2017)
Elevated rail infrastructure has potential to cause structure-radiated noise and vibration concerns during rail op-erations to the neighbouring community. In this paper, an overview of a structure-radiated noise and vibration ...
Vibro-acoustic sources in ground transportation
(2017)
Long term exposure to ground transportation (road and rail traffic) noise is, after air pollution, the main environmentrelated
health stressor in densely populated areas and compromises the quality of life and, indirectly, ...
Application of FAMPRADOP (“Far-range Analytical Model for the Pressure Radiated from a Driven Offshore Pile”) to the far-range cases of the COMPILE 2014 Workshop
(2017)
The cases considered by the COMPILE 2014 workshop in Hamburg defined a pile (length 25 m), a shallow-water environment (depth 10 m), the pile’s vertical position in it, and a force waveform on the pile head. It also defined ...
Setting noise objectives for outdoor events at the Sydney Opera House
(2017)
Unwanted music from outdoor events is considered a form of noise pollution which presents a unique set of challenges for regulators when compared to other environmental noise sources. Unlike noise generated by sources such ...
Quantitative analysis on the environmental impact benefits from the bandwidth-controlled marine seismic source technology
(2017)
A new marine seismic surveying source technology (eSource) has recently been developed based on physical control of the bandwidth of the source elements (Coste et al., 2014). The objective of the new seismic source is to ...
Performance evaluation of a shock wave-based method for supersonic bullet trajectory estimation
(2017)
The supersonic flight of a bullet generates a ballistic shock wave (SW). As the bullet is subjected to both drag and gravity, its speed decreases with the distance travelled and its trajectory is more or less curvilinear. ...
Metamaterial design for middle-low frequency elastic wave miti-gation
(2017)
In the past two decades, meta-materials have drawn increasing attention from researchers due to their unique properties, including wave attenuation with potential application in acoustic engineering. A number of meta-material ...
Sound radiation from the open end of pipes and ducts in the presence of mean flow
(2017)
The radiation of sound from the open end of pipes and ducts is a common problem in environmental noise control.
Examples include radiation from ductwork in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, noise ...
Propagation of underwater noise from an offshore seismic survey in Australia to Antarctica: measurements and modelling
(2017)
An offshore seismic survey was conducted over the western edge of the continental shelf in Bass Strait in 2006.
Underwater noise from this survey was recorded on an autonomous sound recorder deployed in the Southern
Ocean ...
Target tracking using seabed based passive acoustic arrays
(2017)
Passive sonar systems are a key sensor type for anti-submarine warfare, used to detect acoustic energy emit-ted by surface or subsurface sources. These systems typically provide bearing detections from targets that are ...
