UK FORUM FOR ENGINEERING STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY (FESI), a technology-focused body which brings together industry and academic experts and works to reduce the incidence of engineering failures, has recently been re-energised.
FESI leaders Peter Flewitt and Roderick Smith sadly passed away within three months of each other at the end of 2024, leaving the organisation without a board of directors. We are pleased to announce that the following new directors are now in place:
Dr Mayur Jagatia PhD, Group Director of Amentum’s Materials Science and Structural Integrity (MSSI) business.
Paul Woollin, Research and Quality Assurance Director at TWI
Dr Yiqiang Wang, CEng CSci, In-vessel Engineering Section Leader at the UK Atomic Energy Authority
Professor Michael Fitzpatrick FREng FLSW, University of Leicester and Lloyd’s Register Foundation Chair of Structural Integrity and Systems Performance.
FESI remains a not-for-profit organisation supported by major companies in the engineering sector, leading universities, and public bodies such as the Health and Safety Executive and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL).
Our vision for the re-energised FESI is to be a vibrant community of practice that can raise the awareness of structural integrity and promote higher standards through collaboration and networking between industry, academia and government.
John Sharples, of Amentum, continues his role as FESI Chief Technical Advisor
Brian Daniels, of Amentum, continues as FESI Honorary Treasurer and
Jack Beswick, of Amentum, continues as Chair of the FESI Student and Early Career Council.
FESI now has a new Chief Administrator, Amanda Rabbich, who is the point of contact for member enquiries at [email protected].
