SIMULATION OF HUMAN GAIT OVER THE ELASTIC BRIDGE

Abstract eng:
The paper deals with the development of biomechanical model in order to simulate a man walking over the elastic bridge and the interaction of both objects. The current civil engineering technology enables to build bridges perfectly sustainable from mechanical point of view but with decreased eigenfrequencies that may lead bad human perception like anxiety or even seasickness. Therefore it is desirable to develop simulation models of the manbridge interaction to be considered in the bridge design. This paper deals with the development of interaction model. The model must include the biomechanical model of human being, its control of human gait, the elastic bridge and the interaction between the biomechanical model and the bridge. The developed model is a planar one and it enables to simulate both the stable and unstable human gait.
