In the present paper, a detailed crowd model is applied to investigate the impact of vertical
human-structure interaction (HSI) on the dynamic response of footbridges to pedestrian …

In the framework of whole-body vibration (WBV), biodynamics refers to biomechanical
responses of the human body to impressed oscillatory forces or motions. The biodynamic …

The adverse effects of crowd activity on the structural response observed in several
accidents have raised our concern about the role of human-structure interaction (HSI) on the …

Slender footbridges are often highly susceptible to human-induced vibrations, due to their
low stiffness, damping and modal mass. Predicting the dynamic response of these civil …

The human response to vibration is typically studied using linear estimators of the frequency
response function, although different literature works evidenced the presence of non-linear …

This paper describes the experimental characterisation of the apparent mass matrix of eight
male subjects in standing position and the identification of nonlinearities under both mono …

Sixteen standing male participants were subjected to fore-and-aft sinusoidal vibration with
peak magnitude and frequency in the range 0.44–4.431 ms− 2 and 2–6 Hz, respectively …

This work describes the design and validation of an electro-mechanical excitation system for
characterization of the response of the human body to multiaxial vibrations. The presented …

This paper describes a system for the measurement of the apparent mass (AM) matrix of
standing subjects. The system uses two electrodynamic shakers to generate vibrations …

During daily activities, individuals come into contact with various intensities and durations of
vibrations, which can potentially lead to health issues such as headaches, vomiting, and …
