Structural geology is the discipline devoted to the study of rock deformation and the resulting features – such as folds, faults, joints and other discontinuities – that record the history of tectonic ...

Earth is a stressed planet. As plates move, magma rises, and glaciers melt—just to mention a few scenarios—rocks are subject to varying pressure and compressional and extensional forces. The effect of ...

Structural analysis of tubular joint connections underpins the design and safety of a vast array of load-bearing frameworks, from offshore platforms and wind-turbine supports to architectural and ...
