This book collects original peer-reviewed papers describing the latest developments in railway noise and vibration from the 14th International Workshop on Railway Noise (IWRN14), held on 7–9 December 2022, in Shanghai, China. It covers a broad range of railway noise and vibration topics, including high-speed rail and aerodynamic noise, wheel and rail noise, curving squeal noise, bridge noise, vehicle interior noise, structure-borne noise, and ground-borne vibration. Further topics such as resilient track forms, wheel out-of-round and polygonalization, rail roughness, corrugation and grinding, etc. are also covered. With the extensive and timely information offered, this book helps scientists and engineers in their daily efforts to identify, understand, and solve problems related to railway noise and vibration and to achieve the ultimate goal of minimizing the environmental impact of railway systems.

This book reports on the 13th International Workshop on Railway Noise (IWRN13), held on September 16-20, 2019, in Ghent, Belgium. It gathers original peer-reviewed papers describing the latest developments in railway noise and vibration, as well as state-of-the-art reviews written by authoritative experts in the field. The different papers cover a broad range of railway noise and vibration topics, such as rolling noise, wheel squeal, noise perception, prediction methods, measurements and monitoring, and vehicle interior noise. Further topics include rail roughness, rail corrugation and grinding, high-speed rail and aerodynamic noise, structure-borne noise, ground-borne noise and vibration, and resilient track forms. Policy, criteria and regulation are also discussed. Offering extensive and timely information to both scientists and engineers, this book will help them in their daily efforts to identify, understand and solve problems related to railway noise and vibration, and toachieve the ultimate goal of reducing the environmental impact of railway systems.
