Collapse dynamics

Collapse dynamics refer to the study of how structures or systems break down or change rapidly when they reach a critical point. This can involve physical objects, like buildings or materials, or complex systems like economies or ecosystems. The focus is on understanding the patterns, forces, and processes that cause sudden failure or transformation. By analyzing collapse dynamics, scientists can identify vulnerabilities and predict how and when a collapse might occur, helping to improve safety, design more resilient systems, or prevent catastrophic failures.
