Six innovative Mode Damage Indexes (MDI) in circular 1-D cracked beams focus on the bending frequency split. <em>Bending Splitting-Frequency Indexes (BSFI<sub>j</sub>)</em> are imprinted by damage: cracks, pseudo-cracks, PSB, and structural weakening; BSFI peaks indicate dangerous modes.

An inverse algorithm calculates <em>BSFI_<sub>n</sub></em> maps at <em>p-</em>assumed crack locations; a test-<em>BSFI_<sub>t</sub></em> vector minimizes discrepancies.

This scatter increases as the temperature grows. It is shown that these regularities are due to the fluctuation-induced mechanism of the contact bonds breaking in carbene-graphene nanoelement. For the first time, it was found the phenomenon of transition from the instability of carbyne-graphene nanoelements due to the contact bond breaking to the instability, as a result of the fluctuation-induced formation of a Stone-Wales-like defect with the subsequent pulling out of the chain from the graphene sheet.

These versatile materials have shaped the modern landscape, from towering skyscrapers to highways and bridges. While their primary use has been structural, recent advancements have shown that their widespread presence can also be leveraged for energy conversion and storage. In recent years, various construction methods have been developed that use cementitious composites for energy solutions, such as rechargeable concrete batteries, cementitious thermal energy storage (TES) devices for concentrated solar plants, thermoelectrical concretes and the emergence of radiative cooling concretes. This work aims at reviewing these novel applications. In particular, I will initially explore how rechargeable concrete batteries could offer a sustainable and cost-effective solution for storing energy in buildings and infrastructure. Later I will move on presenting new cement binders whose resistance to high temperature cycles fits well with the stringent requirements of the TES devices in modern concentrated solar plants. The challenges of thermoelectric concretes will be discussed afterwards. Finally, the paper will spend some time on the recent advent of radiative cooling concretes and how they could help reduce energy consumption and mitigate the urban heat island effect in cities.
