Abstract:Expressions for peak A-weighted sound pressure level and A-weighted exposure level produced by a train are derived on the assumption that the noise is generated by a con tinuousline of incoherent dipoles. The attenuation with the distance in excess of geo metricalspreading is modelled by a power law. The interaction of theory and mea surementprocedure is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
