Effects of Damping and Reynolds Number on Vortex-Induced Vibrations [PDF]
Vortex-induced vibrations have been studied experimentally with emphasis on damping and Reynolds number effects. Our system was an elastically-mounted rigid circular cylinder, free to oscillate only transverse to the flow direction, with very low ...

Tuned mass damper (TMD) has a wide application in the human-induced vibration control of pedestrian bridges and its parameters have great influence on the control effects, hence it should be well designed.

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.

Human induced vibration of staircases: Measurements and analysis [PDF]
While there are numerous design guidelines for oscillations of floors, staircases have received comparatively less attention. Dynamic testing of existing staircases can improve understanding of their behaviour and lead to more accurate methods for predicting accelerations in service.

The effect of vibration on the possibility of a threat to the health of workers on scaffolding
Scaffoldings are specific structures that are particularly predisposed to vibrations. The article analyses the impact of vibrations induced by human activity on the stage for the possibility of a threat to the health of workers working in these ...

Numerical and experimental comparisons of vortex-induced vibrations of marine risers in uniform/sheared currents [PDF]
This paper presents a general theoretical reduced-order model capable of evaluating the multi-mode nonlinear dynamics of marine risers subject to uniform and sheared currents.

Measuring human-induced vibrations of civil engineering structures via vision-based motion tracking [PDF]
We present a novel framework for measuring the body motion of multiple individuals in a group or crowd via a vision-based tracking algorithm, thus to enable studies of human-induced vibrations of civil engineering structures, such as floors and ...

Investigation of the Rail-Induced Vibrations on a Masonry Historical Building
Increasingly historic masonry buildings are subjected to higher levels of traffic and rail vibrations due to urbanization and population growth. Deterioration and destabilisation of these buildings may result, especially if they were previously damaged ...
