Characteristics of Sound Insulation and Insertion Loss of Different Deloading Sound Barriers for High-Speed Railways
When a high-speed train quickly passes along the sound barriers installed on the two sides of a viaduct, the fluctuating wind pressure acting on the sound barriers causes an increase in the aerodynamic loading...

Study on the Sound Radiation Directivity of a Railway Wheel and the Relationship between Directivity and Mode Shape
Due to the complex geometry of a railway wheel, the shape of its modes may have to be properly considered to understand and predict the sound radiation directivity around it. A straight-web metro wheel is stud...

Inspection of Underwater Metallic Plates by means of Laser Ultrasound
Guided Ultrasonic Waves (GUWs) are increasingly considered in the nondestructive testing of engineering systems. This paper shows a non-contact laser/immersion transducer system for the detection of damage in ...

Numerical Analysis for Mechanisms of a Geocell-Reinforced Base Under a Vertical Load
Geocells have a three-dimensional cellular structure, which can be used to stabilize foundations in soft soil by increasing bearing capacity and reducing settlements. However, a considerable gap exists between...

Centrifugal Modeling of a Geogrid-reinforced Embankment on Soft Subsoil
A centrifugal model test was performed to investigate the behavior of a geogrid-reinforced embankment on soft subsoil. The prototype was a reinforced embankment with four-lane driveways using lime-stabilized s...

Deformation and Failure Processes Operating in Ultra-Fine Grain Metals
Nanograined metallic materials typically have higher yield and tensile strength, lower stiffness and better resistance to environmental degradation and wear than their large-grained analogs. We currently lack ...
