    Modelling of the people induced vibrations of structures and vice versa


    Highlights:


    • Vibration problems in structures: serviceability problems reducing people's comfort to an unacceptable level or safety problems with danger of failure
    • Vibration analysis and design
    • Forcing functions representing human walks in computer model of the structure 
    • Evaluation of the walking excitation force models to predict the structural response
    • Dynamic tests: case studies

  • Here do we provide tools for easy communication like chat, forum and/or adobe connect. Please use them as much as possible!

    • Forum posts can be rated by teachers or students (peer evaluation). Ratings can be aggregated to form a final grade which is recorded in the gradebook.

      Forums have many uses, such as

      • A social space for students to get to know each other
      • For course announcements (using a news forum with forced subscription)
      • For discussing course content or reading materials
      • For continuing online an issue raised previously in a face-to-face session
      • For teacher-only discussions (using a hidden forum)
      • A help centre where tutors and students can give advice
      • A one-on-one support area for private student-teacher communications (using a forum with separate groups and with one student per group)
