Integrated structural dynamics uncover new modes of B12 photoreceptor activation

**SACLA** A crystallographic pump-power titration was first carried-out with pump laser fluences of 12, 30, 60 and 120 ??J.cm-2 and a time delay of 3 ??s. Then, a time-series was performed with a pump-laser fluence of 30 ??J.cm-2 (~2.4 absorbed photon per chromophore) and time-delays of 10 ns, 300 ns, 3 ??s, 100 ??s and 3 ms. Finally, two time-delays (10 ns and 3 ??s) were collected with a pump laser fluence of 12 ??J.cm-2. Raw images, crystFEL streams and merged mtzs are available for all collected dat **SwissFEL** A time series with a pump laser fluence of 30 mJ.cm-2 was performed at time delys of 3 ??s and 10 ms. Raw images, crystFEL streams and merged mtzs are available for all collected datasets. Refined detector geometry for each experimental campaign is also provided (crystFEL format)

Machine-Learned Linear Structural Dynamics

The tension between accuracy and computational cost is a common thread throughout computational simulation. One such example arises in the modeling of mechanical joints. Joints are typically confined to a physically small domain and yet are computationally expensive to model with a high-resolution finite element representation. A common approach is to substitute reduced-order models that can capture important aspects of the joint response and enable the use of more computationally efficient techniques overall. Unfortunately, such reduced-order models are often difficult to use, error prone, and have a narrow range of application. In contrast, we propose a new type of reduced-order model, leveraging machine learning, that would be both user-friendly and extensible to a wide range of applications.

The Influence of Structural Dynamics in Two-Dimensional Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Perovskites on Their Photoluminescence Efficiency — Neutron Scattering Analysis

Two-dimensional hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have emerged as promising materials for light-emitting diode applications. In this study, by using time-of-flight neutron spectroscopy we identified and quantitatively separated the lattice vibrational and molecular rotational dynamics of two perovskites, butylammonium lead iodide (BA)2PbI4 and phenethyl-ammonium lead iodide (PEA) 2 PbI 4 . By examining the corresponding temperature dependence, we found that the lattice vibrations, as evidenced by neutron spectra, are consistent with the lattice dynamics obtained from Raman scattering. We revealed that the rotational dynamics of organic molecules in these materials tend to suppress their photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) while the vibrational dynamics did not show predominant correlations with the same. Additionally, we observed photoluminescence emission peak splitting for both systems, which becomes prominent above certain critical temperatures where the suppression of PLQY begins. This study suggests that the rotational motions of polarized molecules may lead to a reduction in exciton binding energy or the breaking of degeneracy in exciton binding energy levels, enhancing non-radiative recombination rates, and consequently reducing photoluminescence yield. These findings offer a deeper understanding of fundamental interactions in 2D HOIPs and could guide the design of more efficient light-emitting materials for advanced technological applications.

Topics in structural dynamics: Nonlinear unsteady transonic flows and Monte Carlo methods in acoustics

The results are reported of two unrelated studies. The first was an investigation of the formulation of the equations for non-uniform unsteady flows, by perturbation of an irrotational flow to obtain the linear Green's equation. The resulting integral equation was found to contain a kernel which could be expressed as the solution of the adjoint flow equation, a linear equation for small perturbations, but with non-constant coefficients determined by the steady flow conditions. It is believed that the non-uniform flow effects may prove important in transonic flutter, and that in such cases, the use of doublet type solutions of the wave equation would then prove to be erroneous. The second task covered an initial investigation into the use of the Monte Carlo method for solution of acoustical field problems. Computed results are given for a rectangular room problem, and for a problem involving a circular duct with a source located at the closed end.

Modal coupling procedures adapted to NASTRAN analysis of the 1/8-scale shuttle structural dynamics model. Volume 1: Technical report

A dynamic substructuring analysis, utilizing the component modes technique, of the 1/8 scale space shuttle orbiter finite element model is presented. The analysis was accomplished in 3 phases, using NASTRAN RIGID FORMAT 3, with appropriate Alters, on the IBM 360-370. The orbiter was divided into 5 substructures, each of which was reduced to interface degrees of freedom and generalized normal modes. The reduced substructures were coupled to yield the first 23 symmetric free-free orbiter modes, and the eigenvectors in the original grid point degree of freedom lineup were recovered. A comparison was made with an analysis which was performed with the same model using the direct coordinate elimination approach. Eigenvalues were extracted using the inverse power method.

Analysis of structural dynamic data from Skylab. Volume 2: Skylab analytical and test model data

The orbital configuration test modal data, analytical test correlation modal data, and analytical flight configuration modal data are presented. Tables showing the generalized mass contributions (GMCs) for each of the thirty tests modes are given along with the two dimensional mode shape plots and tables of GMCs for the test correlated analytical modes. The two dimensional mode shape plots for the analytical modes and uncoupled and coupled modes of the orbital flight configuration at three development phases of the model are included.

Structural dynamics, stability, and control of helicopters

The dynamic synthesis of a helicopter is reported. The method of approach is a variation of the component mode synthesis in the sense that it regards the aircraft as an assemblage of interconnected substructures. The equations of motion are derived in general form by means of the Lagrangian formulation in conjunction with an orderly kinematical procedure that takes into account the superposition of motion of various substructures, thus circumventing constraint problems.
