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.

Human response to vibration in residential environments: Development of a social survey for the study of vibration annoyance in residential environments in Chinese
Other
Tan, T., & Waddington, D. Human response to vibration in residential environments: Development of a social survey for the study of vibration annoyance in residential environments in Chinese. Salford

The aim of this work is to produce an internationally comparable social survey for the study of the annoyance due to vibration and noise in residential environments in Chinese. The challenges that China will face in terms of noise and vibration annoy...

Annoyance from railway vibration in residential environments: factors of importance when considering exposure-response relationships
Presentation / Conference
Peris, E., Woodcock, J., Sica, G., Moorhouse, A., Waddington, D., & Peris, E. Annoyance from railway vibration in residential environments: factors of importance when considering exposure-response relationships. Presented at Acoustics 2012 Hong Kong, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre

Railway induced vibration is an important source of annoyance in residential environments. Annoyance increases with vibration magnitude. However, these correlations between annoyance and physical ratings are weak. This suggests that vibration-induced...

Differences in response to vibration induced in residential environments by railway and construction activities
Presentation / Conference
Woodcock, J., Peris, E., Sica, G., Moorhouse, A., Waddington, D., & Peris, E. Differences in response to vibration induced in residential environments by railway and construction activities. Presented at Acoustics 2012 Hong Kong, 13th - 18th May 2012

This paper summarizes the results of the Defra (UK) funded project ‘NANR209: Human response to vibration in residential environments’. The main aim of this project was to develop exposure-response relationships for the human response to environmental...

Human response to vibration in residential environments (NANR209), technical report 4: calculation of noise exposure
Report
Koziel, Z., Smith, M., Woodcock, J., Peris, E., Sica, G., Moorhouse, A., & Waddington, D. Human response to vibration in residential environments (NANR209), technical report 4: calculation of noise exposure

Although vibration is the primary focus of the “Human response to vibration in residential environments” project, it can be seen in the literature that noise, which covariates very well with vibration, can facilitate annoyance. Work was done towards... Read More about Human response to vibration in residential environments (NANR209), technical report 4: calculation of noise exposure.

Human response to vibration in residential environments : establishing exposure-response relationships
Presentation / Conference
establishing exposure-response relationships. Presented at 10th International Congress on Noise as a Public Health Problem (ICBEN) 2011, London, UK, London

This paper presents results from a large scale study investigating the human response to vibration in residential environments. The main aim of this study was to derive exposure-response relationships for annoyance caused by vibration experienced wit...

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...
