An iterative neural network framework is proposed in this paper for the human-induced Ground Reaction Forces (GRF) replication with an inertial electrodynamic mass actuator (APS 400). This is a first approach to the systematization of dynamic load tests on structures in a purely objective, repeatable and pedestrian-independent basis. Therefore, an inversion-free offline algorithm based on Machine Learning techniques has been applied for the first time on an electrodynamic shaker, without requiring its inverse model to tackle the inverse problem of successful force reconstruction. The proposed approach aims to obtain the optimal drive signal to minimize the error between the experimental shaker output and the reference force signal, measured with a pair of instrumented insoles (Loadsol©) for human bouncing at different fre- quencies and amplitudes. The optimal performance, stability and convergence of the system are verified through experimental tests, achieving excellent results in both time and frequency domain.

W pracy przeprowadzono próbę wyznaczenia chwili utraty stabilności dla upadków z pozycji statycznej. Pozycją początkową, jaką przyjmowała osoba badana, było stanie na dwóch nogach z rękami wzdłuż tułowia. Rejestracji ruchu dokonano dzięki wykorzystaniu systemu BTS. W celu wyznaczenia chwili utraty stabilności zaproponowano i opracowano własne miary i parametry, bazujące na pomiarach wykonanych z użyciem platform dynamometrycznych oraz systemu analizy ruchu. Dla analizowanego przypadku ruchu wielkości te pozwoliły na szacunkowe wyznaczenie chwili utraty stabilności.

Assessing of human stability loss was performed at this work in case of falls from a static position. At the beginning patient takes the starting position as standing on two legs with hands along the thorax. Human motion registration was performed by using BTS system. In order to determine the instant of human stability loss the new measures and parameters were proposed, which based on measurements from force platforms and motion analysis system. These parameters allowed to assess the instant of stability loss for analyzed motion.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine how minimalist running shoes (MRS), conventional running shoes (CRS) and the dominance of lower limbs influence the running gait. Methods: Trained recreational runners (N = 13) who have been engaged in regulary running for more than one year were participants in this study. They were experienced with using MRS and CRS for more than half year and they used both types of shoes. An in-shoe pressure measuring system (Pedar-X®, Novel, Munich, Germany) was used to monitor plantar pressure and vertical force and the temporal parameters when running in MRS and CRS during the stance phase, the swing phase and over one stride. Results: Running in CRS significantly prolonged stance, swing and stride phases by 2–11% compared to MRS. In contrast, when running in MRS significantly larger values of maximum pressure (9–14%) and maximum vertical force (3–7%) than in CRS were found. Conclusions: For this reason, running in MRS could be recommended to recreational runners only with care. The effect of limb dominance on temporal characteristics was detected when running in CRS. Significantly longer stance phase for dominant limb is associated with a shorter swing. The kinematics variables were significantly higher for dominant limb than for non-dominat limb when running in MRS and CRS (by 12–23%).

Konstrukcje budowlane charakteryzujące się zwiększoną podatnością dynamiczną i możliwością występowania drgań odczuwalnych przez ich użytkowników narażane są często na intencjonalne wzbudzanie drgań przez osoby wykonujące podskoki lub przysiady. Obciążenia dynamiczne tego typu wystąpić mogą m.in. na: kładkach dla pieszych, trybunach stadionowych, stropach budynków (podczas wydarzeń sportowo-rekreacyjnych, dyskotek, koncertów). W referacie przedstawiono charakterystykę obciążeń dynamicznych w formie sił reakcji podłoża generowanych podczas ciągłych, rytmicznych przysiadów wykonywanych przez jedną osobę wraz z propozycją modeli matematycznych tych obciążeń. Zaproponowane modele opracowano w oparciu o wyniki badań laboratoryjnych sił reakcji podłoża i wstępnie zweryfikowano w drodze dynamicznych analiz numerycznych oraz badań terenowych przykładowych kładek dla pieszych. Wyniki analiz i badań potwierdziły poprawność i skuteczność stosowania modeli w celu wyznaczania wartości sił reakcji podłoża powstających podczas ciągłych, rytmicznych przysiadów oraz ustalania wartości odpowiedzi dynamicznej konstrukcji.

Dynamic forces generated by moving persons can lead to excessive vibration of the long span, slender and light-weight structure such as floors, stairs, stadium stands and footbridges. These dynamic forces are generated during walking, running, jumping and rhythmical body swaying in vertical or horizontal direction etc. One of the important type of dynamic loading of a susceptible and light-weight structures can be the ground reaction forces generated during rhythmically repeated squats. In the paper the load models of the ground reaction forces generated during partial squats have been presented. Elaborated models was compared to the forces measured during laboratory tests carried out by author in wide range of frequency using force platform. Moreover, the load models were initially validated during dynamic numerical analyses and dynamic field tests of the exemplary footbridges.

In clinical gait analysis, ground reaction force (GRF) is the gait parameter which can validate the state of disorder of the patient's movement. The purpose of this study was to explore the possibilities of employing the GRF derived from kinematics of the center of gravity (COG) in the study of dynamics of human gait. Gait data was collected for healthy able-bodied men and women and patients after ACL reconstruction who use larger lateral COG excursions during gait. Reasonable agreement between methods was found in fore-aft and vertical directions, where the methods differed by an average of less than 10% in either direction. Based on model predictions of the body's COG trajectory during walking, algorithms were developed to determine spatio-temporal gait parameters related to GRF characteristics. The suitability of calculating ground reaction forces using COG displacement in a patient population is questioned.
