MTMDs-Based Noise Control for Box-Girder Bridge of High Speed Railway

The environmental issues induced by the high speed railway become more and more serious with its rapid development. In order to control the low-frequency structure noise of the box-girder bridge of high speed railway, this paper proposes a new idea that the multi-mass-dampers (MTMDs) may be used. A sound radiation analysis model of the box-girder bridge is developed to validate the idea and to evaluate the control effect. Firstly, a vehicle-track-bridge coupled dynamic model is established to obtain the dynamic responses of the box-girder bridge induced by the excitation of German railway spectra of low irregularity. Then the sound radiation analysis model of the box-girder bridge is established using boundary element method and the dynamic responses are used as the boundary condition to solve the acoustic radiation characteristics of the box-girder bridge. The mechanism of noise radiation of the box-girder bridge is analyzed combined the acoustic radiation efficiency, the vibration response and the vibration distribution. Finally, the MTMDs are using to control the noise radiated by the box-girder bridge based on its mechanism of noise radiation and the control effect is evaluated.
