TL;DR: In this article, a global numerical strategy that allows simulating the vehicle-track-tunnel-soil interaction is proposed, which is coupled with a train-track interaction model, allowing to simulate the complete process of vibration propagation from the vehicle to the soil.

TL;DR: Several studies on the concept of a periodic buried structure made of stiff inclusions deployed with a geometrical arrangement that may allow efficient filtering of dominant vibration frequencies are described, clearly revealing the existence of band gaps of large attenuation.

TL;DR: In this article, a finite element methodology that implements the linearized Navier Stokes equations in the frequency domain was proposed to analyze the acoustic performance under normal incidence of perforated panel absorbers.

TL;DR: Possible improvements in built heritage conservation are shown and discussed suggesting a general framework for safety assessment and damage identification of existing structures in Structural Health Monitoring.

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative compact solution consisting of a multi-size perforated panel absorber with micro-perforated partitioned cavities was explored, and a simplified approximate model for the prediction of the acoustic properties of such devices was derived using the equivalent circuit method (ECM) and the Maa model for MPPs (Micro-Perforated Panels).
