The operation of an underground subway line in urban areas can cause\u00a0disturbances in terms of externally induced vibrations. This constitutes a problem in presence of structures, such as residential buildings (disturbances to people), buildings dedicated to vibration sensitive activities to (eg. Hospitals) and buildings of historical and cultural interest which are naturally sensitive to vibration (masonry historic buildings). One of the most used intervention strategy for new railway\/subway lines construction, is the use of special anti-vibration mats, installed between the rail infrastructure (rails, sleepers and ballast) and the tunnel structure, in order to absorb vibrational stresses and break down the disturbances source. These systems, however, are subject to degradation over time, which cannot be quantified in advance, especially when their operating\u00a0conditions are far from the ideal conditions proposed in laboratory tests.

For instance, in the Flaminio – Lepanto route (Line A, Rome Metropolitan), there are two accelerometers in each instrumented section, on the side and on the roof of the tunnel, on both single and double track lines.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”75196″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1448443348973{margin-top: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”ITALIAN AND EUROPEAN PATENTS” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23111111″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”style3″ css=”.vc_custom_1448443111946{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Title:<\/strong> Vibration attenuation device, and e procedure for evaluating the performance of said device [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1688050708882{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;background-color: #ffd200 !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”5\/6″][vc_custom_heading text=”Download VAMS-UBM product documentation” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18|text_align:left|color:%23111111|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1456154028522{padding-left: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1448357100884{margin-top: -15px !important;}”][vc_btn title=”Brochure” style=”outline” shape=”square” color=”black” align=”center” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fivmtech.it%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fbrochures%2F2015%2FBrochureVAMSUBM_ENG.pdf||”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1448019018552{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #eeeeee !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;border-top-color: #dddddd !important;border-top-style: solid !important;}” el_class=”align-right”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Not sure which solution is the best for your specific case?” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18|text_align:left|color:%23111111″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1455550101582{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][thememove_button text=”Contact Us” url=”http:\/\/ivmtech.it\/contatti\/”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Vibration Attenuation Monitoring System for Under Ballast Mats – VAMS-UBM” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23111111″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”style3″ css=”.vc_custom_1455539036259{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1448360454152{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":79048,"parent":74861,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
\nThe VAMS-UBM<\/strong> system consists of pairs of MEMS technology accelerometric sensors, installed in axis inside of anti-vibration mats, in its upper and lower part. When\u00a0an underground train passes through the area\u00a0where these instrumented mats are positioned, there will be a transmission of vibrational waves from\u00a0top (rail surface) to bottom. The acceleration change\u00a0recorded by the two sensors placed on the same axis (on the upper and lower surface of the mat) is the vibration attenuation. It is mainly a function of the elastic properties of the material. Overtime, due to the wear, the mat varies its elastic properties (the rubber tends to harden), hence the “transfer function” of the vibrational waves necessarily change. In this way, we can associate to this change a possible degradation of the anti-vibration mats.<\/p>\n\n
