Abstract
This chapter deals with structural vibrations caused by human body motions. Of great importance are vibrations induced by rhythmical body motions such as
-
walking
-
running
-
jumping
-
dancing
-
handclapping with body bouncing while standing
-
handclapping while being seated
-
lateral body swaying.
