A Study on Estimation Method of Sound Power for Rolling Stock

철도차량 음향파워 추정방법에 관한 연구

Sound power is one of the most significant factors to predict and assess noise from sound source. However, many researchers developed indirect methods to calculate the sound power with noise level because it is impossible to measure sound power directly while a train is running. In this paper, we proposes a method to estimate separately each sound power for rolling noise and propulsive noise with the noise emitted from rolling stocks and verifies the validity of the estimation method using other sound power estimation formula.
