The The success of the conference is primarily thanks to a strong and enthusiastic support of participants from all around the world, hard work of the conference organizers and generous support provided by ESIS . The conference received more than 212 abstracts, 169 papers were accepted for presentation, 138 papers were presented at the conference and 105 papers were selected for publication in the conference proceedings. The growing numbers and increasing quality of conference papers indicate the rising significance of the conference topics as well as importance of ESIS TC5 activities. This issue comprises a part of MCM-2017 papers selected for publication in Procedia Structural Integrity . We hope the reader will judge the excellence of the conference from the quality and novelty of the presented research. We also hope that the next MCM-2019 conference ( MCM is a biannual conference held every odd year) will find new participants among the readers of this issue.
