Abstract
Human interaction with structural systems is not totally understood, leading to either overdesign or extreme vibrations. Different numerical models have been proposed to represent this interaction. Most of these models use masses, springs and dampers to model the human. One could argue that the interaction between structural system and human is more complicated, specially, that the human might react with the structure even though he or she is still at a particular location. This paper proposes the use of a close loop controller system to model the human–structure interaction. The model is updated in a probabilistic sense using experimental data collected in the laboratory.
