Metal additive manufacturing in structural engineering – review, advances, opportunities and outlook

Leroy Gardner · 21 Dec 2022

Although still in its infancy, metal additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing has now arrived at a scale suitable for use in construction. The new technology offers the potential for improved economy, sustainability, safety and productivity through greater automation, enhanced customisation, reduced material usage and reduced wastage. In this paper, a review of recent developments…

Review of finite element model updating methods for structural applications

Suzana Ereiz, Ivan Duvnjak, Javier Fernando Jiménez‐Alonso · 20 May 2022

At the time of designing structures up to date, the density and magnitude of the load have increased, and the requirements for regulation have also become more stringent. To ensure the essential requirements, especially the mechanical resistance and stability, the numerical modelling of the structure is carried out according to the current regulations. Due to…

Structures template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Structures format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Structures template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Structures use?
Structures uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, Structures 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Structures?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Structures document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Structures template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Structures format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Structures?
Structures is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Structures template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Structures PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Structures template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Structures template cost?
You can start writing in the Structures template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Structures PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
