Abstract

Recently, a model to describe the vibration of light structures (e.g. footbridges, staircases) was proposed by the authors of this paper. Such a model was developed with the aim of being accurate with a high number of people occupying the structure for long times. The present paper analyses the behaviour of the same model in the case of transient excitation of the structure. This allows to assess the accuracy of the model also in this further situation.
