Abstract
The lateral vibration of pedestrian bridge was induced by human walking in London. It was caused by the synchronization of human walking rhythm with lateral vibration of the bridge, but the mechanism of that synchronization has not been cleared yet. In this paper, the lateral vibration of pendulum with human walking was investigated by using neural oscillators model. Firstly, the neural oscillators themselves were testified numerically whether it could be applied to human walking. Then, human walking model on the pendulum was formulated, combining neural oscillators and the pendulum vibration. Experiments were carried out to investigate the synchronization phenomenon in various conditions and they were compared with the calculated results. The presented neural oscillators might simulate the synchronization of human walking on the vibrating bridge.
