Audio noise mapping for virtual urban simulations: enhancing public awareness
(2007)
One of the key difficulties with urban environmental noise mapping is disseminating results
from noise studies in a manner that is easily under
stood by the general public. Indeed, it is
one of the requirements of the ...
Vibration control of spar-type floating offshore wind turbine towers using a tuned mass-damper-inerter
(2019)
This paper investigates the use of a passive tuned mass‐damper‐inerter (TMDI) for vibration control of spar‐type floating offshore wind turbine towers. The TMDI is a relatively new concept as a passive vibration control ...
