This paper describes the development and implementation of noise control measures by Docklands Light Railway (DLR), London, to meet obligations set out in its Noise and Vibration Policy, adherence to which is set by an Act of the U.K. Parliament. Noise levels from the operational railway exceeded ta

β¦ Synopsis
A new high speed rail link between Oslo and the new main airport at Gardermoen will be established in 1998. The planning process indicates that noise and vibration is one of the most important challenges in the planning of new railways. More knowledge about noise and vibration will therefore be helpful in the process of developing new railway projects. Furthermore, it seems of great importance to make considerable efforts to make the operation of the new railway quieter than today's railways.

Typical experimental prototypes of flexible robot arms are constituted as a rotating beam with distributed flexibility. The simplest example of flexible manipulators is a flexible slewing beam constrained to move in a horizontal plane. The beam is usually actuated by a motor and may carry a payload.
The objective of the laboratory study presented here was to elucidate the importance of the number of noise events of a relatively low maximum noise level for sleep disturbance effects (body movements, subjective sleep quality, mood and performance). Twelve test persons slept eight nights under home
The joint symposium was held at the IIT Delhi on March 18-20, 1996, and focused on basic research issues and trends in the general area of vibration and noise engineering. Forty-two papers were selected for the three-day meeting on relevant topics including machine dynamics, diagnostics, vibro-acous
