15th Anniversary International Journal of Structural Integrity Virtual Issue

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the International Journal of Structural Integrity (IJSI). To celebrate this milestone, the editorial team is delighted to launch the IJSI 15th Anniversary Outstanding Paper Award, recognizing 10 high-quality articles that have made a significant impact and bringing them back into the spotlight. This virtual issue showcases these 10 seminal papers — congratulations to all the winners!

At the same time, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to our former editors, Associate Editors, International Advisory Board members, Early Career Editorial Board members and our dedicated reviewers for their invaluable contributions in helping the journal grow and thrive over the past 15 years.
