Dear friends, this is a very rich issue for Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale. 70 papers organized both in “regular submissions” and “special issues” (maybe, better, “Focused on” sections) confirm the success of our Journal. This time I wish to warmly thank all the Guest Editors of the “Focused on” section for their hard work: they all followed the reviewing process, allowing to publish a really high quality issue. For the Crack Paths section, we have the contribution of Sabrina Vantadori, Andrea Carpinteri and Andrea Spagnoli (all of them from the Università di Parma, Italy). For the Portuguese contributions for Structural Integrity the issue had the contribution of Paulo N. B. Reis (from the Universidade da Beira Interior, Portugal) and of Abilio M. P. Silva (from the University of Porto, Portugal). Last but not least, the Showcasing Structural Integrity Research in India section was organized by Raghu Vasu Prakash (from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India) and the Design of Civil Environmental Engineering organized by Mauro Sassu, Fausto Mistretta, Flavio Stochino (from Università di Cagliari) and Franco Bontempi, Konstantinos Gkoumas (from Università di Roma “La Sapienza”)
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ENTHUSIASM AND CONTINUOUS SUPPORT!

I wish to remember you some services we recently activated:

Visual Abstract: this is the forth issue with all the papers connected with their Visual Abstracts. Short videos (less than 2 minutes long) with the core of the paper allow the reader to have a quick view of the papers content. We wish to thank all the authors for their efforts. These Visual Abstract are really appreciated and we hope they will increase the papers visibility. Please, remember that we publish the Visual Abstract also in a YouTube channel: LINK
Please, join the channel… if the subscribers number will increase, we will be able to obtain a customized url!!

Material and Design and Processing Communications (MDPC), it is the new publication media published by Wiley. All the Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale authors are suggested to submit short versions of their papers to MDPC following the procedure described in the Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale website: LINK
