Effects of Damping and Reynolds Number on Vortex-Induced Vibrations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
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 ...

Application of an Artificial Fish Swarm Algorithm in an Optimum Tuned Mass Damper Design for a Pedestrian Bridge

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
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.

Evaluation and Prediction of Blast-Induced Ground Vibrations: A Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) Approach

open access: yesMining, 2023
Ground vibration is one of the most hazardous outcomes of blasting. It has a negative impact both on the environment and the human population near to the blasting area.

Numerical Model for Human Induced Vibrations [PDF]

open access: yes
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]

open access: yes, 2019
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

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
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 ...

Measuring human-induced vibrations of civil engineering structures via vision-based motion tracking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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

open access: yes, 2010
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 ...
