Groundborne Noise
暫譯: 地面噪音

本書適合從事地面噪音的測量、預測、評估和減緩的實務工作者，以及聲學工程的學生。書中解釋了地面噪音的來源、它們如何傳遞到支撐它們的介質（或它們所嵌入的介質）、所產生的波型範圍、它們如何通過各種土壤、岩石或建築結構傳播，這些結構將它們連接到接收器，以及作為地面噪音的振動如何傳遞到接收結構中，並在房間和其他空間中重新輻射為聲學現象。內容清晰、易讀且合乎邏輯，提供足夠的技術細節以供工程師使用，而不會過於複雜。

Rupert Thornely-Taylor is a Fellow of, and was a founder member of, the Institute of Acoustics, a Member of the Institute of Noise Control Engineering of the USA and a Fellow of the International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration. He has specialised exclusively in the subjects of noise, vibration and acoustics for more than 60 years. He has been an independent consultant in these subjects for the past 57 years and heads the Rupert Taylor Ltd consultancy practice. He is a past President and Honorary Member of the Association of Noise Consultants and a past Director of the International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration. He is the author of the Pelican book NOISE, and editor or co-author of many other books including the Association of Noise Consultants Guidelines "Measurement and Assessment of Groundborne Noise and Vibration". He is a member of the Working group that produced ISO Standard 14837-1:2005 "Mechanical vibration - Ground-borne noise and vibration arising from rail systems - Part 1: General guidance" and ISO Standard 14837-32:2015 "Measurement of dynamic properties of the ground". He has prepared reports on noise for the OECD. In 2016 the Institute of Acoustics awarded him its Rayleigh Medal for outstanding contributions to acoustics. In 2013 the Association of Noise Consultants awarded him their Outstanding Contribution Award. A high proportion of his work has been devoted to groundborne noise and vibration, which was the subject of his Rayleigh Medal lecture, and his plenary presentation at the 26th International Congress on Sound and Vibration in Montreal in 2019. He developed the FINDWAVE Finite-Difference-Time-Domain computer package which has been used for simulations of groundborne noise and vibration of many major developments including High Speed 2 and a wide range of buildings near railways and other sources of vibration in the UK, Spain, Scandinavia, Singapore and China.

魯伯特·索內利-泰勒是聲學學會的院士及創始成員之一，也是美國噪音控制工程學會的會員，以及國際聲學與振動學會的院士。他在噪音、振動和聲學領域專注研究超過60年。在過去57年中，他一直擔任這些領域的獨立顧問，並領導魯伯特·泰勒有限公司的顧問業務。他曾擔任噪音顧問協會的會長和榮譽會員，並曾是國際聲學與振動學會的董事。他是《Pelican》書籍《噪音》的作者，並且是許多其他書籍的編輯或共同作者，包括噪音顧問協會的指導方針《地面噪音和振動的測量與評估》。他是制定ISO標準14837-1:2005《機械振動 - 由鐵路系統引起的地面噪音和振動 - 第1部分：一般指導》和ISO標準14837-32:2015《地面動態特性的測量》的工作小組成員。他為經濟合作與發展組織（OECD）準備了有關噪音的報告。2016年，聲學學會因其對聲學的傑出貢獻授予他雷利獎。2013年，噪音顧問協會授予他傑出貢獻獎。他的大部分工作都專注於地面噪音和振動，這也是他雷利獎演講的主題，以及他在2019年蒙特利爾第26屆國際聲音與振動大會上的全體報告。他開發了FINDWAVE有限差分時域計算包，該包已用於模擬許多重大開發項目的地面噪音和振動，包括英國的高鐵2號（High Speed 2）以及靠近鐵路和其他振動源的各類建築，涵蓋英國、西班牙、斯堪的納維亞、新加坡和中國。
