1. On the Directivity of Railway Noise Sources
Abstract : This dissertation deals with the directivity of railway noise. The directivity of railway noise is of particular importance when we have high-rise buildings close to the track, tunnel openings, partial barriers, or when we calculate the maximum sound pressure level during a pass-by based on the sound power level of the different sub-sources of a train.

2. Tread Braking of Railway Wheels - Noise-related Tread Roughness and Dimensioning Wheel Temperatures
Abstract : Block braking is a commonly used braking system for freight wagons and other types of railway vehicles. One or several brake blocks are pressed against the tread (running surface) of the wheel, which is also in rolling contact with the rail. READ MORE

3. Applicable directivity description of railway noise sources
Abstract : For a sound source, directivity is an important parameter to specify. This parameter also reflects the physical feature of the sound generation mechanism. For example, turbulence sound is of quadrupole directivity whilst fluid-structure interaction often induces a sound of dipole characteristic. READ MORE

4. Modelling the acoustic performance of slab tracks
Abstract : Transport is a major contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Railway transport has a small footprint compared to other means of transport. This is one reason for the construction of new high-speed railway lines world-wide. READ MORE

5. Development of new techniques for the numerical modelling of railway track dynamics. Application to rolling noise assessment
Abstract : The numerical modelling is widely employed for the prediction of the railway track dynamic behaviour, which is of utmost importance for the characterisation of the undesired medium-high frequency phenomena, such as corrugation, wheel-out-of-roundness and noise emission. This study is devoted to the improvement of railway track numerical modelling, the efficient resolution of the problem in the time domain and the assessment of rolling noise for different approaches of the track modelling.
