What is a structure? 4
A structure is an arrangement and organization
of interrelated elements in a material object
or system, or the object or system so
organized.[1] Material structures include man-
made objects such as buildings and machines and
natural objects such as biological
organisms, minerals and chemicals. Abstract
structures include data structures in computer
science and musical form. Types of structure
include a hierarchy (a cascade of one-to-many
relationships), a network featuring many-to-
many links, or a lattice featuring connections
between components that are neighbors in
space.

micro-mirrors inside
The IR laser projector from STMicroelectronics
integrates an infrared laser diode, low power class 1,
and a resonant micro-mirror manufactured by
STMicroelectronics. The projector is tiny, only 11.7mm
x 8.4mm x 3.1mm and has a capability of 60fps.
STMicroelectronics has developed an intelligent design
to reduce the dimension of the micro-mirror, facilitating
its driving and dramatically reducing the number of
manufacturing steps in order to reduce the cost.

Why inelastic structural analysis?
“Inelastic”
lacking elasticity; unyielding or unadaptable.
not elastic; lacking flexibility or resilience; unyielding.

When completed, in 1973, were the tallest
skyscrapers in the world.
