In failure analysis the problem is not lack of data but that most of it never reaches the engineers who need it most.

Slopes influenced by multiple faults are prone to large-scale landslides triggered by multi-regional failures. Understanding the failure process and sequence is essential for the sustainable ...

The first step for semiconductor chips is visual inspection using an optical microscope or electrical measurements. 2 Mechanical probing, electron beams, emission microscopy, liquid crystal, etc., are ...

Rock slope failures pose significant challenges in geotechnical engineering due to the intricate nature of rock masses, discontinuities, and various destabilizing factors during and after excavation.
