Who is Oasys?

• Wholly owned by Arup

• Formed in 1976 to develop software for in-house and external use

• Most developers are engineers who have moved to programming

• In recent years have added marketing and sales staff

• Since 2003 have expanded the development team worldwide

• Wide network of resellers and channel partners

The ProblemVibration


The effects of vibration

•Structural Damage• Inelastic response – overload• Fatigue

•Discomfort• Bouncy floors and stairs• Wind-induced sway of buildings• Ride comfort• Noise• Machine operation

•Machine operability• High precision manufacturing

facilities• Medical facilities• Laboratories


What is Footfall?

Human induced vibration


What is Footfall?


What is Footfall?

Vibration

(a) A bridge as a simply supported beam

(b) The first mode of vibration

(c) The displacement of mid-span after someone jumps once at mid-span


What is Footfall?

Vibration
