The second ICSI conference will take place on the beautiful Madeira Island, Portugal on 4 – 7 September 2017. ICSI will focus on all aspects and scales of structural integrity thematic. This ranges from basics to future trends, with special emphasis on multi-scale and multi-physics approaches, and applications to new materials and challenging environments. The conference proceedings will be published with open-access by Elsevier’s Procedia Structural Integrity before ICSI starts, and also a set of selected papers will be published on one of Elsevier top journals, International Journal of Fatigue. The conference will be a forum for discussion of current trends of research in structural integrity, in aeronautics and space, but also in other sectors of engineering where structural integrity is a key concern.
