Structural Integrity and Life, is a professional and scientific journal of the Society of Structural Integrity and Life (DIVK) ‘Prof. Dr Stojan Sedmak’, seated in Belgrade, Serbia. The journal serves professionals in the analysis, design, testing, health monitoring, integrity assessment, case studies and engineering sciences of engineering structures. The journal aims to provide a recognizable forum for the research in the field of structural engineering and life of systems and components. We welcome the latest developments in the theory, experimenting and design methods that relate to engineering structures such as mechanical, civil, energy, power plants, chemical and processing, transportation, mining, metallurgy, welding, environmental hazards and protection, etc. Papers published include original papers, review papers, technical reports, book reviews, commentaries, and news. Topics cover fundamental aspects in theoretical and applied mechanics, testing and experiments, design and reparation, materials sciences, etc. Special thematic issues are occasionally published and are devoted to important regional events that cover topics as integrity and life, risk, safety and health of engineering structures.
