Features: This book is primarily based on the latest research findings in the field of railway traffic noise and vibration from scholars worldwide over the past decade, utilizing new theories and methods. The main content includes: the basic properties of sound waves, sound wave radiation, the propagation and attenuation characteristics of sound, the hazards, evaluation, and standards of noise, noise signal processing and spectral analysis, vibration analysis of the train-track coupling system, railway noise and subway noise, calculation methods and case studies of train noise, wheel-rail noise, measures to control and reduce wheel-rail noise, ground vibrations caused by surface trains, underground train-induced ground vibrations, and the application of statistical energy analysis in predicting noise from elevated rail transit. The content is novel, stays abreast of academic frontiers, and emphasizes rigorous and comprehensive theory. Each chapter is interconnected yet relatively independent, allowing readers to read through the book or focus on specific topics. This book can serve as a textbook and reference for undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and engineering technicians in civil engineering, transportation, environmental science, road and railway engineering.
