Free Vibrations
Vibrations after an initial input
Example : Pulling a mass attached to a spring and then letting it go
2)
Forced Vibrations
An alternating force or motion is applied to a structure
Example : Running on a treadmill, a shaking washing machine etc.

Source and receiver are not simultaneously at the location of max. modal displ.
HIGH-FREQUENCY FLOORS :
f n 8 Hz
Transient response due to an individual footfall decays to practically zero by the
time the next footfall begins, so that no resonant build-up is possible.
Solution: Reduce a footfall to an equivalent impulse and calculate the impulse
response.
DG 11 : Provide a minimum stiffness of 5.7 k/in if fn > 9-10 Hz
