Vibration Amplitudes Produced in St . David ' s Cathedral by Concorde Sonic Bangs
نویسنده
چکیده
At St. David's Cathedral, structural vibrations produced by a number of Concorde sonic bangs have been measured and compared with the vibration produced by the structures normal environment. The results show that bang produced amplitudes are not very much greater than the environmental vibration amplitudes. It is unlikely therefore that continued exposure of the Cathedral to sonic bangs would result in appreciably accelerated structural decay.

Effects of sonic booms on breeding gray seals and harbor seals on Sable Island, Canada.
The Concorde produces audible sonic booms as it passes 15 km north of Sable Island, Nova Scotia, where gray and harbor seals occur year round. The purpose of this research was to assess how sonic booms affect these seals. The intensity of the booms was measured and three types of data (beach counts, frequency of behavior, and heart rate) were collected before and after booms during the breeding...
متن کاملSHORT COMMUNICATION Geophone Detection of Subterranean Termite and Ant Activity
A geophone system was used to monitor activity of subterranean termites and ants in a desert environment with low vibration noise. Examples of geophone signals were recorded from a colony of Rhytidoponera taurus (Forel), a colony of Camponotus denticulatus Kirby, and a termite colony (undeterminedDrepanotermes sp.) under attack by ants from a nearby C. denticulatus colony. The geophone recordin...

متن کاملParametric Study on the Nonlinear Dynamics of a Three-Stay Cable Network under Stochastic Free Vibration
Crossties and cable networks are used on cable-stayed bridges to mitigate wind-induced stay vibration. A nonlinear free-vibration analysis of a cable network with random oscillation amplitudes is presented in this study. Specifically, a nonlinear restoring-force spring model is introduced at the crosstie to simulate in-plane network free vibration at large amplitudes. The current constitutive m...
