© 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Published 2016 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. The Trolley Problem has baffled ethicists for decades (Foot 1978; Thomson 1985; Fischer and Ravizza 1992) and has, more recently, become a focal point for research in moral psychology (Petrinovich, O’Neill, and Jorgensen 1993; Greene et al. 2001; Edmonds 2013; Greene 2015). As the Trolley Problem’s interdisciplinary histor...

Slender footbridges are prone to excessive vibrations due pedestrian effects, and comfort criteria often govern their design. In this sense, composite materials that combine high damping capacity with relatively stiffness low mass can provide functional benefits. This paper presents a study of the dynamic behaviour an 11 m long hybrid footbridge made two I-shaped pultruded glass fibre reinforce...

A substantial body of research supports a dual-process theory of moral judgment, according to which characteristically deontological judgments are driven by automatic emotional responses, while characteristically utilitarian judgments are driven by controlled cognitive processes. This theory was initially supported by neuroimaging and reaction time (RT) data. McGuire et al. have reanalyzed thes...

Abstract This study describes the dynamic identification of a cable-stayed footbridge using an alternative data acquisition system and output-only modal methods. Data were collected during tests performed based on Arduino platform, consisting low-cost devices with on-board Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) accelerometers. The Peak-Picking (PP) method was used for stay cables. Frequency Dom...
