Fast transfer path analysis using controlled electric motors as in-situ blocked force vibration sources (2021)
Thesis

Under certain driving and road conditions, steering manoeuvres may provoke audible noise inside the vehicle compartment induced by the electric power steering (EPS) system. Regarding noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), engineers require practical t...

Application of the Round-Trip theory to electro-dynamic sources of vibration (2021)
Thesis
Evans, J. Application of the Round-Trip theory to electro-dynamic sources of vibration. (Dissertation). University of Salford

The Round-Trip Identity, developed by Moorhouse & Elliott at The University of Salford allows the reconstruction of mechanical frequency response functions at remote locations on a test structure, without the need to physically measure at that locati...

Investigating the feasibility of using dynamic stiffness beam functions in a hybrid structure-borne noise prediction model (2019)
Thesis
Filipe, D. (in press). Investigating the feasibility of using dynamic stiffness beam functions in a hybrid structure-borne noise prediction model. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Ground-borne vibration and structure-borne noise in buildings associated with nearby railway systems, either above ground or underground, is a common occurrence in
densely populated areas. This is especially true where new transportation systems are... Read More about Investigating the feasibility of using dynamic stiffness beam functions in a hybrid structure-borne noise prediction model.

Groundborne vibrations caused by railway construction and operation in buildings : design, implementation and analysis of measurement for assessment of human exposure (2014)
Thesis
Sica, G. Groundborne vibrations caused by railway construction and operation in buildings : design, implementation and analysis of measurement for assessment of human exposure. (Thesis). University of Salford

Environmental issues surrounding railway operation and construction have become more prominent in recent years, increasing the need for administrators and researchers to understand how residents living around railways respond to the noise and vibrati...

Exposure-response relationships from railway noise in the presence of vibration (2011)
Thesis

The main aim of this thesis is to develop exposure-response relationships for noise,
vibration, and combined effects from noise and vibration. Examinations of nonacoustical
factors such as noise sensitivity, noise acceptance, gender, age, and sleep... Read More about Exposure-response relationships from railway noise in the presence of vibration.

Estimation of uncertainty in the structure-borne sound power transmission from a source to a receiver (2010)
Thesis
Evans, T. Estimation of uncertainty in the structure-borne sound power transmission from a source to a receiver. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Uncertainty in structural dynamics is of growing concern to numerous industries.
Significant attention has previously been devoted to the study of frequency response
functions, however the uncertainty associated with excitation of structures by str... Read More about Estimation of uncertainty in the structure-borne sound power transmission from a source to a receiver.

Characterisation of structure borne sound sources in-situ (2009)
Thesis
Elliott, A. S. Characterisation of structure borne sound sources in-situ. (Thesis). University of Salford

In theory it should be possible to characterise a vibration source's active and
passive properties in an independent way which allows for structure borne sound
to be predicted for a source in different installations. When pu... Read More about Characterisation of structure borne sound sources in-situ.

Structure-borne sound transmission within electric power steering systems
Thesis

Transfer path analysis (TPA) is an established and valuable tool in the automotive industry, to
determine the contributions of structure-borne sound sources to receiver responses at target positions.
The classical TPA approach is based on contact f... Read More about Structure-borne sound transmission within electric power steering systems.

Field and laboratory studies into the human response to groundborne vibration : exposure-response relationships, perceptual dimensions, and models of annoyance
Thesis
Woodcock, J. Field and laboratory studies into the human response to groundborne vibration : exposure-response relationships, perceptual dimensions, and models of annoyance. (Thesis). University of Salford

With proposed increases in both freight and passenger railway in the United Kingdom and the European Union and the building of new high speed lines, there has been an increase in interest in recent years in the human response to vibration in resident...
