Wave Propagation For Train-induced Vibrations: A Finite/infinite Element Approach

Explore the intricate world of vibrations induced by trains with "Wave Propagation For Train-induced Vibrations: A Finite/infinite Element Approach" by Yeong-Bin Yang. Published by World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd in 2009, this comprehensive hardback spans 492 pages and offers a deep dive into the challenges faced by buildings and factories near railway and subway lines. The vibrations from passing trains can disrupt residential comfort and impact high-precision industrial processes. Yang expertly introduces the finite/infinite element method (FIEM) as a more effective alternative to the traditional boundary element method (BEM) for addressing half-space problems related to these vibrations. This book is an essential resource for engineers, architects, and researchers seeking innovative solutions to the pressing issue of train-induced vibrations. Discover how advanced modeling techniques can help mitigate these disturbances and enhance structural integrity and user comfort.
