Leaks in Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) account for a large proportion of Non-Revenue Water (NRW) for utilities worldwide. Typically, a leak is only confirmed once water surfaces, allowing the leak to be traced; however, a high percentage of leak...
Despite numerous works over the past two decades, friction-induced vibrations, especially braking noises, are a major issue for transportation manufacturers as well as for the scientific community. To study these fugitive phenomena, the engineers nee...
With railway interoperability, new trains are allowed to move on the French railway network. These trains may present different designs from standard trains. This work aims to complete the current approach for vehicle admission on the railway network...
Adopting non-neutral sitting postures while exposed to whole-body vibration (WBV) can put heavy equipment operators at an increased risk for lower back pain and may cause damage to the spinal tissue. A laboratory experiment involving 11 participants...
The research on traditional and innovative seismic isolation techniques has grown significantly in recent years, thanks to both experimental and numerical campaigns. As a consequence, practitioners have also started to apply such techniques in real a...
The drilling process is among the most crucial steps in exploration and production activities in the petroleum industry. It consists of using mechanical mechanisms to crush rocks by the drill bit to pass through the different geological layers. The d...
Power- and signal- cable attachments have a significant impact on the vibrations of space structures. Recent works show the importance of having an analytical model to gain physical insight into the influence of cabling on the dynamics of host struct...
Prolonged exposure to strong hand-arm vibrations can lead to vascular disorders such as Vibration White Finger (VWF). We modeled the onset of this peripheral vascular disease in two steps. The first consists in assessing the reduction in shearing for...
Increasing torque and power density in geared transmissions is a constant trend, especially due to the electrification and the research of higher efficiency. Thinner web of the gears has led to potentially higher vibration amplitudes and noise levels...
In vehicles, noise and seat vibrations can be perceived by the driver, depending on their signal properties, as annoying or unpleasant. Because perception is a complex process, it is necessary to consider both types of stimuli at the same time to ass...
