Damage Detection in Flexible Structures
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1993Abstract A method is developed for the detection of the existence and location of structural damage. Structural damage is considered to be at the macroscopic level. The detection is carried out in two parts. In the first part, the eigensolution of the structure is identified using a modal parameter identification technique and the system response ...

Structural diversity and flexibility of diabodies
Methods, 2019Diabodies are bispecific antibody fragments that have two antigen binding Fv domains. They are unique among hundreds of different formats of bispecific antibodies because they are small and rigid enough to be crystallized. Diabodies are generated by connecting variable regions of heavy and light chains by a peptide linker.

Resource Flexibility and Capital Structure
Management Science, 2012This paper examines how the optimal investment in the capacity of flexible and nonflexible resources is affected by financial leverage and, conversely, how a firm's resource flexibility affects its optimal capital structure. We consider a two-product firm that invests in the optimal capacity of product-flexible and product-dedicated resources in the ...

ADAPTIVE CONTROL OF A FLEXIBLE STRUCTURE
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1987Abstract The design of a high-performance adaptive controller is discussed for an experimental lightly-damped flexible structure. The plant, the Stanford Four-Disk System, sustains large step changes in parameters as payload mass is added. New methods that make use of limited a priori knowledge of the plant are shown not only to greatly improve the ...

Structural insights into capsid flexibility
Science, 2016Structural Biology Viral capsids are protein structures that enclose the genetic material of viruses. Previous structural studies of the HIV-1 capsid have relied on recombinant, cross-linked, or mutant capsid proteins. Mattei et al. now report subnanometer-resolution cryo–electron tomography structures of the HIV-1 capsid from intact virions.

The structural basis of DNA flexibility
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2004Although the average physico-chemical properties of a long DNA molecule may approximate to those of a thin isotropic homogeneous rod, DNA behaves more locally as an anisotropic heterogeneous rod. This bending anisotropy is sequence dependent and to a first approximation reflects both the geometry and stability of individual base steps.

Flexible Manufacturing and Market Structure
2002In this paper, the authors investigate the implications of flexible manufacturing for market structure. In the received theory of market structure, based largely on inflexible techniques of production, a number of well-known forces work to limit concentration. In the authors' model, none of these forces exists.

The protein secondary structure flexibility
2008Modeling protein flexibility is a long standing challenge in computational biology with a special impact to protein docking. Relating problems are protein structures alignment and identification of flexible and rigid protein regions, as well as a general definition of a region degree of flexibility.

Flexible Querying of Structured Documents
2001In this paper a flexible query language for expressing soft selection conditions on structured documents is presented and formalized within fuzzy set theory. Documents are represented as entities structured into logical sections in which the index terms play a distinct role. Users can indicate the preferred sections of documents, i.e., those which they
