By assessing pain in response to repetitive or different types of standardized stimuli, dynamic quantitative sensory testing (QST) can reveal changes in the central processing of pain. We present methods to optimize and individualize two dynamic QST measures: temporal summation (TS) and conditioned pain modulation (CPM).

This protocol describes an iSCAT-based image processing and single-particle tracking approach that enables the simultaneous investigation of the molecular mass and the diffusive behavior of macromolecules interacting with lipid membranes. Step-by-step instructions for sample preparation, mass-to-contrast conversion, movie acquisition, and post-processing are provided alongside directions to prevent potential pitfalls.

In some cases, like the 2005 Banda Ache earthquake in Indonesia, the damage involved large geographic areas and casualties in the six figures. In general, the number and intensity of earthquakes is not increasing, however, the vulnerability of the built environment is...

A reversible chemical reaction represents a chemical process that proceeds in both forward (left to right) and reverse (right to left) directions. When the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, the concentrations of the reactant and product species remain constant over time and the system is at equilibrium. A special double arrow is used to emphasize the reversible nature of the reaction. The relative concentrations of reactants and products in equilibrium systems vary greatly;...

Different excitation forms expose different aspects of system behavior. An impact, vibration input, or harmonic load provides controlled time-varying forcing, while recorded response data show how the system reacts. Relating input and response supports determination of natural frequencies, damping, stiffness, and frequency-dependent behavior for engineering analysis.
Natural frequencies indicate characteristic response rates at which a system may vibrate strongly. Comparing these frequencies with observed vibration modes helps engineers recognize resonance risks and understand how different parts of a structure participate in motion. This information supports structural-integrity assessment, dynamic model validation, and operating-performance prediction.
Damping and stiffness measurements add parameters that make dynamic models more representative of actual system behavior. When engineers examine these quantities together with frequency-dependent response, they can describe how performance changes as excitation conditions vary. This improves interpretation of test data and supports prediction of operating behavior and design decisions.
Measured response data provide a basis for comparing predicted and observed behavior. Engineers can examine whether a model reproduces important quantities such as natural frequencies, damping, stiffness, vibration modes, and frequency-dependent response. Agreement increases confidence in the model, while differences identify areas requiring refinement before performance predictions are used.
A typical workflow applies a controlled excitation, such as an impact, vibration, or harmonic load, to the material, component, or structure. Engineers record the resulting response data, determine dynamic properties from those measurements, and interpret the results through a dynamic model. The final assessment addresses resonance, modes, integrity, or expected operating behavior.
Response data can identify natural frequencies, damping, stiffness, vibration modes, and changes in behavior with excitation frequency. These results show how a system performs dynamically rather than only describing its static state. Engineers can use the information to evaluate structural integrity, investigate failures, and predict responses under operating conditions.
The measurements support several engineering activities, including safer design, condition monitoring, failure analysis, and optimization of mechanical or structural systems. They are especially useful when engineers must understand resonance, verify a dynamic model, or assess whether a component or structure will perform acceptably under forces that vary during operation.
