Utilize advanced techniques to evaluate structures. Advanced analysis is necessary for structures that are complex, exhibit finite deformations, are loaded beyond their first yield point, or ...

The crystalline sponge method represents an innovative approach in structural chemistry whereby target molecules, often difficult to crystallise in their pure form, are absorbed into the well‐defined ...

The state-of-the-art structural analysis and design of bridges are based on Newton's universal laws, which do not account for aging and degradation of structures. Therefore, the design is valid only ...

XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about college students and recent graduates founding startups. One of the major bottlenecks in construction a new building ...

Civil/Structural engineers design and maintain buildings, bridges, and other structures constructed from various materials (concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and reinforced plastics). They use modern ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to evaluate crystalline materials and determine their structural properties. As one of the most widely used ...
