Understanding Vibrations and How They Affect Both Structures
and Humans

Each human and structure

exhibit individual vibration
properties that depend on their
mass and stiffness, and are
typically characterized using
the frequency of vibration. The
latter, measured in Hertz (Hz),
is simply the number of cycles
per second. In the field of
vibration engineering, these
frequencies are called natural
frequencies because they are
inherent to the system, in some
way, similar to their mass or
shape. The figure shows the
natural frequencies of a human
body:
Resonance
When a structure or human being is subject to a cyclic
force whose frequency is equal or nearly equal to their
own natural frequency, they start presenting a very
important phenomenon in engineering called resonance.
This phenomenon makes the structure or person vibrate
with larger amplitude than when the same cyclic force is
applied at other frequencies
In structures, a high level of vibration can cause cracks,
loose bolts, heavy noise or even failure. In humans,
vibrations can cause several health-related issues such as
fatigue, headaches, stomach problems, among others.
