The FESI Bulletin

The magazine of the UK Forum for Engineering Structural Integrity

The FESI Bulletin has been created to stimulate, inform, challenge and enthuse its readers about engineering structural integrity.

What's in The FESI Bulletin?

The FESI Bulletin publishes reports and investigations relating to the safety, reliability, durability, integrity and life-time evaluations of and improvements to engineering products.

The FESI Bulletin's intention is to build the engineering knowledge base rather than present results of pure science studies. Articles in the Bulletin address all engineering disciplines and products, including their design, manufacture, monitoring systems, and lifetime assessment evaluations. Typically, articles found in The FESI Bulletin may cover current ESI issues, consideration of professional ethics, reviews, synopses of important technical issues in court cases, case studies, requirements for modifications to and explanations of complex issues in Standards and Codes of Practice, and finally, the development of engineering techniques to improve the safety and integrity of plant

Who is The FESI Bulletin for?

Primarily intended for those working in engineering structural integrity, and at the interface of engineering, public utilities, legal and insurance companies and in academia or industry, The FESI Bulletin will also be of interest to anyone who would like to know more about this exciting, constantly-evolving field, whether or not s/he has an engineering background. It is relevant for anyone who wishes to explore the economic, social and professional impact of ESI.

Who writes for The FESI Bulletin?

Contributors to the magazine comprise world-class representatives from all sectors of industry including many renowned research centres.
