Special Issues & Guest Editors
It was also thanks to the efforts of many Guest editors that, in these years, it was possible to follow the editorial process of such a high number of papers! On this page, we wish to report their names and acknowledge their efforts and time spent on Fracture and Structural Integrity. The "Special Issues" are published as "Sections" embedded in the normal issues (January, April, July and October) and collected in "Virtual Issues".
