Structure is in unstable equilibrium when small perturbations produce large movements – and the structure never returns to its original equilibrium position. Structure is in neutral equilibrium …

To safely and efficiently blow a building down, structural engineers have to figure out how it was put together so they can take it down in a matter of seconds.

It starts with structural Equation—a mathematical equation representing the structure of variables’ relationships to each other.
