Identification of most probable ranges of biodynamic responses of the human body exposed
to whole-body vibration is essential for developing effective integrated human-machine …

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 …

Dynamic properties of the human body are basic parameters in biomechanics and many
related areas. Experimental test is the most reliable manner to obtain dynamic parameters of …

Lumped parameter mathematical models representing anatomical parts of the human body
have been developed to represent body motions associated with resonances of the vertical …

This work proposes a method to predict changes in modal parameters of a generic structure
due to the presence of passive people. The method requires to accurately know the modal …

Theoretical analyses are presented for investigating the vibration of lightweight steel floor
systems with human occupants. A damped plate-oscillator model is proposed to obtain the …

Alpine skiing, both recreational and competitive, is associated with high rates of injury.
Numerous studies have shown that occupational exposure to whole-body vibrations is …

Several studies have investigated the transmission of vibration from the vibrating plate of a
whole-body vibration training machine (WBVTM) to different locations on the human body …

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 …

Biodynamic models of seated body exposed to whole-body vibration are considered
