FINDWAVE®

Rupert Taylor Ltd specialises in the prediction of vibration and groundbourne noise from a wide range of sources including railways. We have developed a three-dimensional modelling package capable of simulating the dynamic behaviour of sources, soil and rock, buildings, generating output vibration and noise signals in the time domain. That package is called FINDWAVE® is a Finite Difference Model for predicting vibration of structures, re-radiated noise and ground borne propagation of vibration at acoustic frequencies. A boundary element module enables far-field prediction of structure-radiated noise from bridges and viaducts. FINDWAVE® is proprietary to Rupert Taylor Ltd, but has been licenced to a number of consultants and used to simulate vibration in projects around the world.
