Abstract


Accidental actions caused by vibrations of supporting structures in mechanical systems represent the dynamic tasks of specific scientific and professional research in the field of human and equipment safety. This paper determines the mathematical model of physical excitation force created by   human power, based on the discrete-time Fourier transformation. For experimental verification of the model, we made a special platform for measuring bouncing force of people who create natural impulse oscillation. The paper shows the results of individual and group experimental testing of living force as the cause of accidents and dangerous effects on the structure. In the end, the excitation of the human operation of a malicious nature (heavy transport machine – crane) has been used to show the application of Fourier model to simulate one incident. For this purpose, the transient FEM analysis and the eigenvalues predetermined modal analysis are used. The paper is illustrated with photographs of experimental tests of dangerous human impulse in several working machines (objects).
