Measuring miniature eye movements by means of a SQUID magnetometer [PDF]
, 1982 A new technique to measure small eye movements is reported. The precise recording of human eye movements is necessary for research on visual fatigue induced by visual display units.1 So far all methods used have disadvantages: especially those which are ...

Some relevant aspects of footbridge vibrations [PDF]
Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2002 Considering the contemporary structural inaterials that are becoming more resistant, having higher strength to weight ratio, and the fact that live load of footbridges is low, the design based on static analysis only, respecting ultimate limit states ...

Numerical Model for Human Induced Vibrations [PDF]
This paper proposes a new model for describing the effect of people on the dynamic behaviour of slender structures. The influence of people is described by using the so-called ground reaction forces. These are split into two types: passive ground reaction forces and active ground reaction forces.
