Developing a good practice guide on the evaluation of human response to vibration from railways in residential environments
Presentation / Conference
Woodcock, J., Peris, E., Waddington, D., & Moorhouse, A. Developing a good practice guide on the evaluation of human response to vibration from railways in residential environments. Presented at 11th International Workshop on Railway Noise, Uddevalla, Sweden

The adverse effects that noise and vibration from railway systems in residential environments can have on people are key obstacles for the development of new rail systems and the operation of existing lines. Recent years have seen an increase in publ... Read More about Developing a good practice guide on the evaluation of human response to vibration from railways in residential environments.

The effects of centrifugal blowers, control valves, attenuating devices and reservoir resonance on organ pipe flutter
Thesis
Taylor, A. (in press). The effects of centrifugal blowers, control valves, attenuating devices and reservoir resonance on organ pipe flutter. (Thesis). Computing,Science and Engineering

The aim of this research is to investigate the noticeable organ pipe flutter that may, under certain conditions, exist on a sounding organ pipe. The effectiveness of a pipe organ wind system is notoriously difficult to predict. For many years pipe or...
