Calculating vibrations of structures

by Michael Edgemon

Submitted : Fall 2020

There are many forces that can impact how a structure behaves or feels to a person who is on the structure. Many of these forces will cause oscillating motion in the structure, which is typically just called vibrations of structures. This motion, specific to the floor, could cause a person who is traveling across the floor to be uncomfortable, or feel unsafe. This can be measured using frequency, and by using formulas for the frequency of the forces applied on the object.
