Abstract
This paper develops other by the author on a novel and forward-looking approach to the concept of structural integrity, comprising and covering all length scales in the theoretical framework of the innovative terms of giga-, mega-, macro-, micro- and nano-structural integrity, and thus the science of fracture mechanics & structural integrity can be seen as a branch of material science & engineering, and the novel idea of material integrity can also be discussed. In addition, the concept of structural integrity is extended to fields such as the biology, or to the case of non-material structures. The paper is also a tribute to the physicists Galileo Galilei who can be considered as the father of fracture mechanics.
