Comparison of bouncing loads provided by three different human structure interaction models

Bouncing is a typical activity of human body and it can generate dynamic loading which should be considered in various occasions. Three different bouncing load models in literature are compared in this paper, including the theories developed by E. Duarte and T. Ji in 2009, J. G. Parkhouse and D. J. Ewins in 2006, J. W. Dougill et al. in 2006. Base on the coefficients given in literature, the comparison focuses on the differences of DLFs (Dynamic Load Factors), phase lags and the combination effects. Advantages and disadvantages of each method are analyzed and the suggestion for appropriate use in practice is also given.
