Accurate simulation of walking load is great significance in conducting human-induced vibration analyses. However, accurate pedestrian data obtained from long-span footbridges scarce and reliability depends on the sensor used for measurement. In current work, Yanluo Footbridge with 102 m span was adopted as test site Xnode high-precision acceleration wireless applied measurements. An experimental investigation performed loads according to bipedal force model. studies, single-person multi-person tests were at measure corresponding stride frequency dynamic factor. The time-histories pedestrians accurately recorded using three-axis Xnode. Furthermore, equation factor derived by analyzing power spectra design models crowd developed based a number data. Time histories showed regular periodic changes increased increasing frequency. Using model this reliable structure response analysis can be obtained.

The established NCS-based has capability incorporate as well satisfying function property Kronecker delta imposing essential boundary conditions with no use predefined mesh directly associated nodes. It also demonstrated that by changing sign electric actuation from negative positive, character nonlocality strengthening become a bit more significant.
