<p>The book reports on the 11th International Workshop on Railway Noise, held on</p><p>9 - 13 September, 2013, in Uddevalla, Sweden. The event, which was jointly organized</p><p>by the Competence Centre Chalmers Railway Mechanics (CHARMEC) and the</p><p>Departments of Applied Mechanics and Applied Acoustics at Chalmers University of</p><p>Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, covered a broad range of topics in the field of railway</p><p>noise and vibration, including: prospects, legal regulations and perceptions; wheel and</p><p>rail noise; prediction, measurements and monitoring; ground-borne vibration; squeal</p><p>noise and structure-borne noise; and aerodynamic noise generated by high-speed trains.</p><p>Further topics included: resilient track forms; grinding, corrugation and roughness;</p><p>and interior noise and sound barriers. This book, which consists of a collection of peer-reviewed</p><p>papers originally submitted to the workshop, not only provides readers with an</p><p>overview of the latest developments in the field, but also offers scientists and engineers</p><p>essential support in their daily efforts to identify, understand and solve a number of</p><p>problems related to railway noise and vibration, and to achieve their ultimate goal of reducing the environmental impact of railway systems.</p><p>
