TL;DR: This paper aims to provide a review and critical analysis of the state of the art concerning crowd-structure interaction phenomena on footbridges with special attention to those models, which explicitly account for the interaction between mechanical and living systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a constraint tightening approach to non-conservatively guarantee recursive feasibility and stability in Stochastic Model Predictive Control (SMPC), and prove asymptotic stability in probability of the minimal robust positively invariant set obtained by the unconstrained LQ-optimal controller.
Abstract: Constraint tightening to non-conservatively guarantee recursive feasibility and stability in Stochastic Model Predictive Control is addressed. Stability and feasibility requirements are considered separately, highlighting the difference between existence of a solution and feasibility of a suitable, a priori known candidate solution. Subsequently, a Stochastic Model Predictive Control algorithm which unifies previous results is derived, leaving the designer the option to balance an increased feasible region against guaranteed bounds on the asymptotic average performance and convergence time. Besides typical performance bounds, under mild assumptions, we prove asymptotic stability in probability of the minimal robust positively invariant set obtained by the unconstrained LQ-optimal controller. A numerical example, demonstrating the efficacy of the proposed approach in comparison with classical, recursively feasible Stochastic MPC and Robust MPC, is provided.

TL;DR: In subject-specific computational hemodynamics models of the human aorta the imposition of BC settings based on non-invasively measured flow rate waveforms influences indicators of abnormal flow to a large extent and a BCs set-up assuring realistic, subject- specific instantaneous flow rate distribution must be applied when BCs such as flow rates are prescribed.
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate how the imposition of personalized, non-invasively measured blood flow rates as boundary conditions (BCs) influences image-based computational hemodynamic studies in the human aorta. We extracted from 4D phase-contrast MRI acquisitions of a healthy human (1) the geometry of the thoracic aorta with supra-aortic arteries and (2) flow rate waveforms at all boundaries. Flow simulations were carried out, and the implications that the imposition of different BC schemes based on the measured flow rates have on wall shear stress (WSS)-based indicators of abnormal flow were analyzed. Our results show that both the flow rate repartition among the multiple outlets of the aorta and the distribution and magnitude of the WSS-based indicators are strongly influenced by the adopted BC strategy. Keeping as reference hemodynamic model the one where the applied BC scheme allowed to obtain a satisfactory agreement between the computed and the measured flow rate waveforms, differences in WSS-based indicators up to 49% were observed when the other BC strategies were applied. In conclusion, we demonstrate that in subject-specific computational hemodynamics models of the human aorta the imposition of BC settings based on non-invasively measured flow rate waveforms influences indicators of abnormal flow to a large extent. Hence, a BCs set-up assuring realistic, subject-specific instantaneous flow rate distribution must be applied when BCs such as flow rates are prescribed.
