A general vibration control methodology for human‐induced vibrations [PDF]
This paper proposes a general methodology for the design of vibration control of human-induced vibrations. This uses a feedback loop for the design of control parameters and accounts for the nature of human excitation and how humans feel the vibration.

Simulation of Human-induced Vibrations Based on the Characterized In-field Pedestrian Behavior. [PDF]
For slender and lightweight structures, vibration serviceability is a matter of growing concern, often constituting the critical design requirement. With designs governed by the dynamic performance under human-induced loads, a strong demand exists for the verification and refinement of currently available load models. The present contribution uses a 3D
