Structural integrity monitoring of is one of the key elements for the safety of natural and artificial systems. It is based on advanced results of experimental and computational mechanics. The actual problems of the deformation and of structural integrity monitoring were discussed during three schools for the young scientists "Monitoring of natural and technogenic systems". The schools were organized with financial support of the grant for the creation of world-class laboratories given by Russian Science Foundation.
The topics of the schools include: applications of energy dynamics to describe deformation processes; digital tools for mining technology problems; technogenic seismicity and evolution of stress fields during the development of mineral deposits; monitoring of crack resistance in technical and natural materials; nature-like technologies for complex development of the Earth's subsoil; monitoring of the radiation in radon-hazardous regions; monitoring of pipelines; seismic monitoring of potash deposits; the applications of computer X-ray tomography; instrumental methods for stress-strain monitoring in mine workings. Most of the lessons are presented on the website of the Perm Federal Research Centre of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (https://www.icmm.ru/en/science/conferences).
This issue of the journal "Fracture and Structural Integrity" presents selected articles reflecting the topics of the school and the advanced achievements of Russian researchers, which are related to the development of scientific basis for deformation monitoring and monitoring of structural integrity in natural and artificial systems.
