This work extends the domain of vibrational mechanics to higher dimensions, with fast vibrations applied to different directions. In particular, the presented analysis considers the case of a split biharmonic drive, where harmonics of frequency ω and 2ω are applied to orthogonal directions in a two-dimensional setting. It is shown, both numerically and with analytic calculations, that this determines a highly tunable effective potential with the same symmetry as the original one. The driving allows one not only to tune the amplitude of the potential, but also to introduce an arbitrary spatial translation in the direction corresponding to the 2ω driving. The setup allows for generalization to implement translations in an arbitrary direction within the two-dimensional landscapes. The same principles also apply to three-dimensional periodic potentials.

Based on the molecular dynamics (AIMD), the temperature and velocity statistics of diatomic semiconductors were proposed to be classified by atomic species. The phase differences resulting from lattice vibrations of different atoms indicated the presence of anharmonicity at finite atomic temperatures. To further explore the electronic properties, the effect of temperature on electrostatic potential field vibrations in semiconductors was studied, and the concept of electrostatic potential oscillation (EPO) at finite atomic temperature was introduced.

The natural vibrational frequencies of biological particles such as viruses and bacteria encode critical information about their mechanical and biological states as they interact with their local environment and undergo structural evolution. However, detecting and tracking these vibrations within a biological context at the single particle level has remained elusive. In this study, we track the vibrational motions of single, unlabeled virus particles under ambient conditions using ultrafast spectroscopy.

This study considers Timoshenko beam theory and the isogeometric analysis method to investigate the free vibration and buckling of axially functionally graded (AFG) tapered beams. The governing equations are obtained from the kinematic assumptions of Timoshenko beam theory and Hamilton's principle. The isogeometric analysis approach is implemented to solve the motion equations.

In recent decades, research on mechanotransduction has advanced considerably, focusing on the effects of audible acoustic waves (AAWs) and low-vibration stimulation (LVS), which has propelled the field of sonobiology forward. Taken together, the current evidence demonstrates the influence of these biosignals on key cellular processes, such as growth, differentiation and migration in mammalian cells, emphasizing the determining role of specific physical parameters during stimulation, such as frequency, sound pressure level/amplitude and exposure time. These mechanical waves interact with various cellular elements, including ion channels, primary cilia, cell-cell adhesion receptors, cell-matrix and extracellular matrix proteins, and focal adhesion complexes.
