Gentilissimo lettore, il presente numero è prevalentemente dedicato alla prestigiosa Scuola Russa di Meccanica della Frattura. L’obiettivo del numero è quello di offrire un aggiornamento su alcune delle linee di ricerca seguite in questo immenso paese, non tentando nemmeno di essere esaustivi (sarebbe stato necessario un numero certamente ben più corposo), ma cercando di offrire degli spunti di riflessione e, magari, dei riferimenti per possibili collaborazioni. Desidero cogliere l’occasione per ringraziare di cuore Oleg Plekhov, dell’Institute of continuous media mechanics UB RAS, Perm, Russia, e Guest Editor del presente numero, per il continuo supporto che ha reso possibile la pubblicazione di questo numero speciale, e Giacomo Risitano, componente del Consiglio di Presidenza IGF, che ha appunto proposto la special issue dedicata alla Scuola Russa di Meccanica della Frattura e che tanto si è adoperato per il suo successo. Il numero è inoltre arricchito da alcuni lavori non legati alla “special issue”. Preferiamo mantenere i quattro appuntamenti annuali, conservando la tempistica di pubblicazione dei lavori presentati al di fuori delle special issue (massimo tre mesi dal primo invio). Come nel precedente numero di Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale, i lavori appartenenti alla special issue sono quindi contraddistinti da una scritta nella prima pagina in alto a destra.
Infine, qualche informazione riguardante il prossimo Convegno IGF XXII (Roma 1-3 luglio 2013). Il convegno si terrà presso la Facoltà di Ingegneria dell’Università di Roma “Sapienza”, nell’Aula del Chiostro (via Eudossiana 18). Al fine di agevolare il processo di indicizzazione, la lingua preferenziale degli atti è l’inglese. Sono comunque accettati anche lavori in italiano, ma con abstract lungo in inglese (almeno 800 parole). Nel sito IGF sono disponibili i template per la preparazione degli atti. Le prossime scadenze sono: - 10.04.2013: invio Abstract - 15.04.2013: accettazione Abstract - 31.05.2013: invio memorie

Joint theoretical and experimental investigations have allowed to realize an approach with use of mathematical and physical modeling of processes of a shock wave loading of powder materials. In order to gain a better insight into the…
When we want to compare the strength of two materials, we compare the table values of quasistatic strength. However results of some experiments show that the strength ratio of the materials can change with increase in rate of loading. Such…
The hydrogen effect on the fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth behaviour in the martensitic high strength steel is investigated. The secondary ion mass spectrometry method has been employed to analyse the distribution of hydrogen…
