Railways are an environmentally friendly means of transport well suited to modern society. However, noise and vibration are key obstacles to further development of the railway networks for high-speed intercity traffic, for freight and for suburban metros and light-rail. All too often noise problems are dealt with inefficiently due to lack of understanding of the problem.This book brings together coverage of the theory of railway noise and vibration with practical applications of noise control technology at source to solve noise and vibration problems from railways.

Vibro-impact dynamics has occupied a wide spectrum of studies by dynamicists, physicists, and mathematicians. These studies may be classified into three main categories: modeling, mapping and applications. The main techniques used in modeling of vibro-impact systems such as phenomenological modelings, Hertzian models, and non-smooth coordinate transformations developed by Zhuravlev and Ivanov are outlined. One of the most critical situations impeded in vibro-impact systems is the grazing bifurcation. Grazing bifurcation is usually studied through discontinuity mapping techniques, which are very useful to uncover the rich dynamics in the process of impact interaction. This book also considers selected deterministic and stochastic applications of vibro-impact dynamics which cover lumped and continuous systems. One of the most beneficial outcomes of vibro-impact dynamics is the development of impact dampers, which have witnessed significant activities over the last four decades and have been used in several applications. The book is supported by an extensive bibliography which exceeds 1,100 references.

This book, as a volume of the Shock Wave Science and Technology Reference Library, is primarily concerned with detonation waves or compression shock waves in reactive heterogeneous media, including mixtures of solid, liquid and gas phases. The topics involve a variety of energy release and control processes in such media - a contemporary research field that has found wide applications in propulsion and power, hazard prevention as well as military engineering. The six extensive chapters contained in this volume are: - Spray Detonation (SB Murray and PA Thibault) - Detonation of Gas-Particle Flow (F Zhang) - Slurry Detonation (DL Frost and F Zhang) - Detonation of Metalized Composite Explosives (MF Gogulya and MA Brazhnikov) - Shock-Induced Solid-Solid Reactions and Detonations (YA Gordopolov, SS Batsanov, and VS Trofimov) - Shock Ignition of Particles (SM Frolov and AV Fedorov) Each chapter is self-contained and can be read independently of the others, though, they are thematically interrelated. They offer a timely reference, for graduate students as well as professional scientists and engineers, by laying out the foundations and discussing the latest developments including yet unresolved challenging problems.
