ABSTRACT This report is the third edition of a guidance manual originally issued in 1995. It includes clarifications to existing policy and updates to outdated references where applicable. Topics presented in this manual include procedures for predicting and assessing noise and vibration impacts of proposed transit projects for different stages of project development and different levels of analysis. Additional topics include descriptions of noise and vibration mitigation measures, construction noise and vibration, and how to present these analyses in the Federal Transit Administration’s environmental documents. This guidance is for technical specialists who conduct the analyses, as well as project sponsor staff, Federal agency reviewers, and members of the general public who may be affected by the projects. 15.

  • Interior Noise Reduction Approach for Monorail System

    Interior Noise Reduction Approach for Monorail System

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UTHM Institutional Repository INTERIOR NOISE REDUCTION APPROACH FOR MONORAIL SYSTEM DJAMAL HISSEIN DIDANE A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirement for the award of the Degree of Master of Science in Railway Engineering Center For Graduate Studies Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia JANUARY 2014 v ABSTRACT This study presents an overview on the possibilities of interior noise reduction for monorail system using passive means. Nine samples out of three materials were subjected for noise test and the performance of each sample was observed. It is found that all of these samples have proved to reduce a significant amount noise at low and high frequencies even though the amount reduced differ from one sample to another. It is also been noticed that this reductions were denominated by means of absorption for some samples such as those from rubber material, and it was dominated by means of reflection for some others such as those from aluminum composite and paper composite. Moreover, from these different acoustic properties of each material, the whereabouts to install every material is different as well. It was suggested that, the rubber material should be installed on the upper floor of the monorail while, the paper composite should be installed under floor, and the aluminum composite should be installed at the outer parts from the monorail such as the apron door, ceiling, etc. However, despite their promising potential to reduce noise, there were few uncertainties with some samples at certain frequency, for example samples from aluminum composite could not reduce noise at 1250 Hz which denotes that it is not a good practice to use this material at that frequency.

The shell is the wrapper around the system: a communication means between the user and the system The shell is the manner in which the user can interact with the system through the terminal. The shell is also a script interpreter. The simplest script is a bunch of shell commands. Shell scripts are used in order to boot the system. The user can also write and execute shell scripts. Shell – p. 3/55 Shell - which shell? There are several kinds of shells. For example, bash (Bourne Again Shell), csh, tcsh, zsh, ksh (Korn Shell). The most important shell is bash, since it is available on almost every free Unix system. The Linux system scripts use bash. The default shell for the user is set in the /etc/passwd file. Here is a line out of this file for example: dana:x:500:500:Dana,,,:/home/dana:/bin/bash This line means that user dana uses bash (located on the system at /bin/bash) as her default shell. Shell – p. 4/55 Starting to work in another shell If Dana wishes to temporarily use another shell, she can simply call this shell from the command line: [dana@granada ˜]$ bash dana@granada:˜$ #In bash now dana@granada:˜$ exit [dana@granada ˜]$ bash dana@granada:˜$ #In bash now, going to hit ctrl D dana@granada:˜$ exit [dana@granada ˜]$ #In original shell now Shell – p.

Printed by Chalmers Reproservice Göteborg, Sweden, 2010 ii Applicable Directivity Description of Railway Noise Sources XUETAO ZHANG Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Division of Applied Acoustics Chalmers University of Technology 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 while fluid-structure interaction often produces a sound of dipole characteristic. Therefore, to reach a proper directivity description is in fact a process of understanding the sound source in a better way. However, in practice, this is often not a simple procedure. As for railway noise engineering, several noise types of different directivity characters are often mixed together, such as wheel and rail radiation, engine and cooling fan noise, scattered fluid sound around bogies and turbulent boundary layer noise along train side surfaces.

It is expected that the instructor will utilize this information as a foundation and will supplement the core information with specific local examples and additional detail. If one of the companion workshop videos is chosen to supplement the material in any lesson, adjust the length of discussion for the remaining material. It is envisioned that the curriculum could be part of a two-week module for a college level course or a one day seminar. Overview Appropriately accommodating highway noise is a critical component of project planning and implementation for engineers across the nation. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) prescribes a three-part approach for addressing roadway noise including: 1) source controls and quiet vehicles, 2) reduction measures within highway construction, and 3) developing land adjacent to highways in a way that is compatible with highway noise.
