Simulations of human-induced floor vibrations considering walking overlap [PDF]

SN Applied Sciences, 2019
Floor vibration induced by human activities has become an important concern to both designers and developers, especially for modern structures designed with larger spans and lower weights. However, there is currently no systematic approach in codes of practices to assessing floor vibration, and the load models induced by human walking are usually ...

Analysis of human-induced vibrations in a lightweight framework [PDF]

Applied Acoustics, 2016
This article analyzes the vibratory behavior of a Material-Composed Sandwich (MCS) framework for residential buildings. It has been observed qualitatively that the use of this kind of framework leads to poor comfort levels. The goal of this study is to find out the sources of this lack of comfort, in order to suggest guidelines that can enhance the ...

Sanshool on The Fingertip Interferes with Vibration Detection in a Rapidly-Adapting (RA) Tactile Channel. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
An Asian spice, Szechuan pepper (sanshool), is well known for the tingling sensation it induces on the mouth and on the lips. Electrophysiological studies have revealed that its active ingredient can induce firing of mechanoreceptor fibres that typically

Effects of Vertical Ground Motion on Pedestrian-Induced Vibrations of Footbridges: Numerical Analysis and Machine Learning-Based Prediction

Buildings, 2022
Current codes and guidelines for the dynamic design of footbridges often only specify the pedestrian-induced excitations. However, earthquakes may occur during the passing stage of pedestrians in earthquake-prone regions.

Power Control Optimization of an Underwater Piezoelectric Energy Harvester [PDF]

, 2018
Over the past few years, it has been established that vibration energy harvesters with intentionally designed components can be used for frequency bandwidth enhancement under excitation for sufficiently high vibration amplitudes.

Human induced vibration of staircases: Measurements and analysis [PDF]

, 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.

Raman‐based label‐free microscopic analysis of the pancreas in living zebrafish larvae

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Forward stimulated Raman scattering (F‐SRS) and epi coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (E‐CARS) allow label‐free discrimination of distinct subcellular structures in the pancreas of living zebrafish larvae. Given the straightforward applicability, we anticipate broad implementation of Raman microscopy in other organs and across various biomedical ...

Monitoring Human Induced Floor Vibrations for Quantifying Dance Moves: A Study of Human–Structure Interaction

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020
Human induced dynamic forces on structures are of interest in the area of human-environment interfaces. The research community is interested in characterizing human decisions and providing information on the consequences of human actions to control those
