Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 4th International Conference on Noise, Vibration and Comfort (NVC 2012), November 26-28, 2012, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The 61 papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Vehicle Noise, Vibration and Harshness; Chapter 2: Environmental Sound and Vibration Issues; Chapter 3: Comfort and Ergonomics; Chapter 4: Sensors, Signal Analysis and Control;Chapter 5: Materials Studies; Chapter 6: Computational and Experimental Mechanics; Chapter 7: Energy Harvesting; Chapter 8: Tunnel, Subway and Underground Facilities; Chapter 9: Seismic Engineering; Chapter 10: Fluid Engineering, Coastal Engineering, Hydrology and Water Resource Management Keyword: Vehicle Noise, Vibration and Harshness; Environmental Sound and Vibration Issues; Comfort and Ergonomics; Sensors, Signal Analysis and Control; Materials Studies; Computational and Experimental Mechanics; Energy Harvesting; Tunnel, Subway and Underground Facilities; Seismic Engineering; Fluid Engineering, Coastal Engineering, Hydrology and Water Resource Management Engineers and researchers in sound and vibration share their experience and discoveries in the areas of vehicle noise, vibration, and harshness; environmental sound and vibration issues; comfort and ergonomics; sensors, signal analysis, and control; materials; computational and experimental mechanics; and energy harvesting. The 61 papers consider such topics as a parallel study of vibration analysis and acoustic analysis in low frequency brake noise, applying condition-based monitoring in predictive maintenance strategies for a total asset and facility management service, a pilot study on work-related neck-shoulder pain among sewing machine operators, improving the fire retardant property of natural fiber, and optimizing resonator design for a vibration-based electromagnetic energy harvester. - Civil Engineering- Engineering- Environmental Engineering- Materials Science
