In this work we present experimental and calculated two-dimensional electronic spectra for a 5,15-bisalkynyl porphyrin chromophore. The lowest energy electronic Qy transition couples mainly to a single 380 cm(-1) vibrational mode. The two-dimensional electronic spectra reveal diagonal and cross peaks which oscillate as a function of population time. We analyze both the amplitude and phase distr...

In this paper, the dynamic responses of cracked beams under different moving forces, including moving load, moving mass, moving oscillator, and four-degrees-of-freedom moving system, are investigated. Structural elements such as beams are designed to withstand the predicted loads, but unfortunately, they are always exposed to unpredictable damage such as cracks. Several factors may cause these ...

it is well known that ground-shaking site effect caused by an earthquake can vary significantly within a small distance. this is because at sites having soft soil and/or topographic and basement undulations, seismic energy gets trapped, leading to amplification of vibration that may cause considerable damage to man-made structures. theoretical analysis and observational data have shown that eac...

We present a design scheme to achieve equalization of Gaussian-like spectra by using linear-phase optical lattice filters. The proposed scheme separates the design of the phase response from the amplitude response of the equalization filter by introducing a symmetrically folded lattice structure. With the proposed structure, the linear-phase characteristic of the equalization filter is guarante...
