• Crack Initiation and Propagation; • Fractography and Advanced Metallography; • Damage Tolerance; • Environmental Effects; • Durability; • Structural Integrity; • Reliability and Life Extension of Components; • Failure Analysis and Case Studies.

This special issue contains the full-text papers accepted for publication after peer review. We hope that it will be of interest to scientists and engineers working in fracture mechanics, materials science, and structural integrity, as well as to university lecturers and postgraduate students in related disciplines. We also expect it to be useful for practitioners in industrial sectors such as power generation, machinery, transport, the chemical industry, and civil engineering. As Guest Editors of these Conference Proceedings, we thank all authors, reviewers, and members of the organising and programme committees for their contributions and support. Acknowledgements The Guest Editors of this Special Issue wish to express their profound gratitude to Prof. Francesco Iacoviello, Editor-in-Chief of the Procedia Structural Integrity journal, and the dedicated Elsevier staff for their invaluable support throughout the preparation of this issue.
