The PiP model and progress in ground vibration from railways
( Australian Acoustical Society , 2017 , Conference Paper)Vibration in the ground causes problems. At large amplitude vibration causes damage, the most obvious example being earthquake damage. But the ground motion in a damaging earthquake is typically low-frequency (below 1Hz) ... -
Accounting for the influence of the free surface on the vibration response of underground railway tunnels: A new iterative method
( KU Leuven - Departement Werktuigkunde , 2020 , Conference Paper)This paper presents a new method for calculating the ground-borne vibration from shallow underground railways. The method is based on an iterative wave-scattering approach, which decouples the problem into two sub-systems: ... -
Numerical study on the damping characteristics of a shock absorber valve utilizing different velocities through CFD analysis
( National Technical University of Athens , 2021 , Conference Paper)Shock absorbers or hydraulic dampers are power dissipating devices. The fluid flow inside the damper is governed by predefined passages. The damping effect is accomplished by the resistance of oil to flow through the ... -
Energy harvesting from railway vibrations - A numerical study based on beam-on-elastic-foundation under quasi-static loading
( National Technical University of Athens , 2021 , Conference Paper)The objective of this paper is to investigate energy harvesting of train-induced rail vibrations and to provide a comparison between various feasible harvesting locations based on the expected electrical power output. ... -
Effect of rail unevenness correlation on the prediction of ground-borne vibration from railways
( DC/ConfOrg , 2015 , Conference Paper)This paper presents the influence of rail unevenness correlation on the predicted track and ground vibration. The study is based on an integrated railway model in the wavenumber-frequency domain with varying complexity ... -
Experimental validation of a numerical model for the ground vibration from trains in tunnels
( DC/ConfOrg , 2015 , Conference Paper)Ground vibration and ground-borne noise from trains in tunnels are attracting increasing attention from researchers and engineers. They are important environmental issues related with the operation of underground networks ... -
A comprehensive review of power flow controllers in interconnected power system networks
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2020 , Article Review)Energy security is one of the most crucial factor in the development of any nation. Interconnections among different power system networks are made to lower the overall price of power generation as well as enhance the ... -
A high efficiency and high reliability single-phase modified quasi Z-Source inverter for non-isolated grid-connected applications
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Conference Paper)Quazi Z-Source inverter (qZSI) is a promising inverter topology that can buck or boost input voltage without a DC-DC converter and hence can be used in transformerless configuration. This is a high efficiency solution ... -
A Novel Modified Switched Inductor Boost Converter with Reduced Switch Voltage Stress
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2021 , Article)Recently, switched inductor (SI) and switched capacitor techniques in dc-dc converter are recommended to achieve high voltage by using the principle of parallel charging and series discharging of reactive elements. It is ... -
Non-Isolated DC-DC Power Converter with High Gain and Inverting Capability
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2021 , Article)As the voltage gain of converter increases with the same ratio, the current gain also increases, this increase in current gains will affect the size of the input and the output capacitor. To reduce the ripple in the input ... -
A social-ecological perspective for emerging cities: The case of Corniche promenade, “urban majlis” of Doha
( EnPress Publisher, LLC , 2022 , Article)In the past decade, the capital city of Doha of the State of Qatar has experienced rapid urban expansion and other changes due to globalization, which has caused (i) the loss of a compact urban pattern, (ii) landscape ... -
