Structural integrity and durability in transportation equipment, pipelines, and other structures are critical for ensuring safety. New technologies are constantly emerging that can be integrated into these systems to maintain stability even under the most extreme conditions, such as storms, attacks, crashes, and earthquakes. Trains, for instance, are beginning to incorporate “crumple zones” to keep passengers safe in the event of a crash or derailment, and chemical processing plants are now designed to withstand potentially serious explosions
