DEFINITION
Structural integrity: prevention and control of structural and mechanical failures. related to mechanical behaviour of materials. has been defined by Dr Steve Roberts (University of Oxford) as the science and technology of the margin between safety and disaster.

Dr. Shahrum Abdullah, JKMB.

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
Structural integrity: drivers in the quest for structural integrity have been primarily financial, involving the desire of manufacturers and investors to maximise return on investment, the desire of insurers to have a pre-defined risk, and the possibility of litigation in the event of a failure. One can loosely translate the title in terms of financial drivers as: The desire to make money through, and by, engineering has led to greater structural reliability.

Dr. Shahrum Abdullah, JKMB.

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
Structural integrity (research from Cambridge University): Integrity is a term which refers to the quality of being whole and complete, or the state of being unimpaired. Structural Integrity Assessment is an approach to assess whether a structure is fit to withstand the service conditions safely and reliability throughout its predicted lifetime.

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
Structural integrity (research from Cambridge University): Established philosophy behind the design of any structural component is to ensure that the strength of the material, of which the component is made of, is higher than the maximum applied stress in service. If the former appears to be greater than the latter, then the component is considered to be fit for service, otherwise, modification in design or the use of another material with a higher strength is required.

PHILOSOPHY
Designing machines, vehicles, and structures that are safe, reliable and economical requires both efficient use of materials and assurance that structural failure will not occur. It is therefore appropriate for undergraduate engineering majors to study the mechanical behavior of materials, specifically such topics as deformation, fracture and fatigue.
