Abstract : The subject matter of this textbook precludes abstract presentation of the separate roles of the engineering fields that contribute to structural integrity (SI) technology. Specialized engineering fields must be examined in the context of rational certification of structural reliability, as related to fracture and crack growth. The main objective is a realistic and informative exposition of the primary engineering areas that must be integrated in the design process.
