“…This is the so-called Rayleigh integral method, which can be used to solve noise radiation from arbitrary plates. 24 Some other studies determined the sound radiation based on the radiation efficiency of each bridge component, 25,26 which was a simple but effective approach for bridges composed of complicated plate subsystems. In general, these simple sound source models have a high computational efficiency.…”

The noise radiating from a steel bridge can be much greater than the pass-by noise levels of trains at-grade. This is attributed to a special phenomenon known as the steel bridge-borne noise, which occurs when shocks and vibrations due to moving train loads are transferred onto the bridge. To investigate the effectiveness of elastomer mats for reducing vibration and noise in rail transit steel bridges, a frequency domain prediction model is established and calibrated through a field experiment. In this model, the train and track interactions were investigated analytically, and the receptance technique was introduced to determine the force transmitted from a multi-layer track structure to the bridge deck. The local vibrations of the bridge components were solved numerically using a hybrid shell/beam finite element model based on a harmonic response analysis. The bridge vibrations were regarded as the source of noise radiation by considering each bridge component as a rectangular flat plate noise source. There was good agreement between the calculated and measured results in terms of both the magnitude and frequency dependence. The mechanisms of vibration transmission and noise radiation were investigated using numerical simulations. In addition, the vibration and noise reduction effects are discussed by numerically comparing a track system with and without an elastomer mat.

“…Xie et al [36,37] proposed a method for calculating the low-frequency noise radiated by bridge vibrations using a highway vehicle-bridge coupled vibration model and the principle of the Rayleigh integral method. Using a highway steel bridge as an example, a grillage model was applied to calculate the vibratory response of the bridge and the associated low-frequency noise upon a highway vehicle's travel across the bridge.…”

In recent years, there has been rapid growth of Chinese rail transit networks. Many of these networks require elevated bridges. This results in a bridge-borne noise source, which occurs in addition to the main noise source (i.e., wheel-rail interactions). Bridge-borne noise is attracting increasing attention because of its low-frequency noise characteristics. This review paper first analyzes the space distribution, spectral characteristics, and sound pressure levels of noise radiated by all-concrete, steelconcrete composite, and all-steel bridges, mainly according to experimental studies. Second, this paper reviews existing theoretical prediction models of noise emanating from bridges: the semianalytical method, the Rayleigh integral method, the boundary element method, and statistical energy analysis. Several case studies are reviewed, and their results are discussed. Finally, according to the results of the current review, the main factors affecting bridgeborne noise are analyzed, several noise reduction measures are proposed for different types of bridges, and their effectiveness is demonstrated.

“…Michishita et al [21] analysed the noise reduction due to surface absorption on a steel plate girder, assuming the plate girder to be a line source and the concrete deck to be an infinite rigid reflective surface based on a simplified 2D model. Xie et al [22] discretized the bridge deck into a large number of small patches, neglecting the acoustic-structure interaction, and derived the low-frequency acoustic radiation of a steel highway bridge.…”

In this study a hybrid finite element-statistical energy analysis (FE-SEA) method is used to investigate the structure-borne noise of a steel-concrete composite railway bridge. The rail is represented by an infinite Timoshenko beam connected to the sleepers which are regarded as finite Timoshenko beams supported in ballast.The fasteners and ballast are simplified as a series of springs with complex stiffness. This model allows the receptance of the track to be determined. The wheel-rail forces are computed in the frequency domain from the contact-filtered roughness and the receptances of the wheel, track, and contact. The forces transmitted to the bridge are determined by substituting the wheel-rail forces into the equation of motion for the track. This model could also be applied to a slab track mounted on a bridge. A hybrid FE-SEA method is introduced in which FE is used to model the concrete deck and SEA is used to model the steel girders. This enables the computation of the vibration and noise of the composite railway bridge. The proposed method is verified by comparing its predictions with field measurements. The structure-borne noise level of the bridge is found to increase with train speed v by approximately 20lg(v). It is shown that the adjacent spans in a multi-span bridge can be ignored in deriving the bridge-borne noise at receiver points in the middle of the main span, provided that the distance to the track centreline is less than 0.3 times the length of the main span.
