This volume contains the contributions to the 10th International Workshop on Railway Noise, held October 1822, 2010, in Nagahama, Japan, organized by the Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI), Japan. With 11 sessions and 3 poster sessions, the workshop featured presentations by international leaders in the field of railway noise and vibration. All subjects relating to 1. prospects, legal regulation, and perception; 2. wheel and rail noise; 3. structure-borne noise and squeal noise; 4. ground-borne vibration; 5. aerodynamic noise and micro-pressure waves from tunnel portals; 6. interior noise and sound barriers; and 7. prediction, measurements, and monitoring are addressed here. This book is a useful state-of-the-art reference for scientists and engineers involved in solving environmental problems of railways.

International workshop started in 1976 Provides an unique forum for researchers and experts in railway noise and vibration Contains approx. 55 articles
