Those who have meditated on the beauty and utility of the general method of Lagrange – who have felt the power and dignity of that central dynamical theorem which he deduced from a combination of the principle of virtual velocities with the principle of D’Alembert – and who have appreciated the simplicity and harmony which he introduced by the idea of the variation of parameters, must feel the ...

The udkm1Dsim toolbox is a collection of matlab (MathWorks Inc.) classes and routines to simulate the structural dynamics and the according X-ray diffraction response in one-dimensional crystalline sample structures upon an arbitrary time-dependent external stimulus, e.g. an ultrashort laser pulse. The toolbox provides the capabilities to define arbitrary layered structures on the atomic level ...

The decryption of transient structural changes during protein conformational transitions is essential to a detailed understanding of protein functions. To this end, coarse-grained protein structural models have proven valuable by enabling cost-effective simulation/analysis of protein conformational transitions which are too slow for all-atom molecular dynamics simulation. Here we survey state-o...

this paper presents an overview of model updating and particularly its application for updating of frame model. in this article a mathematical model of the frame was produced with finite element method. the frame was subjected to hammer modal testing. then the results of the modal testing were compared with those predicted with the model. this comparison revealed discrepancies between these two...
