The development of fracture mechanics provides a theoretical basis for structural integrity technology while the application of use-specific materials provides new challenges. This calls for an integration of science and engineering such that the industry could benefit by developing codes and standard to assure the consistency of product quality. Failure caused by the interaction of chemical reaction and mechanical effect also require attention. More advanced topics such as dissimilar materials, ageing of materials, degradation of nano-materials, etc., require a consulted effort of the academicians from universities, professional engineers from societies and industries to interact, exchange ideas and make recommendations on failure prevention and design improvement.
