Loads from footsteps

[Gerald Luza]

Dear BIOMCH-L-subscribers,

within the scope of my thesis I'm looking for following datas:

1) Typical footstep-load-time histories with the belonging modulus of
elasticity of the ground (i.e. soil, stone, timber,...) and / or
the belonging displacements so that it is possible to determin the
impact energy of the pedestrian (jogger,...).
2) a plot which shows the context of 'how long can somebody achieve a
constant power. (time - power-plot) Important is aloso the energy that
somebody (average person) is possible to transform in mechanical
energy .

thanks

regards
Gerald Luza
