Abstract
IRF2025 is the eighth international gathering of a prestigious series of Integrity-Reliability-Failure conferences coordinated by the International Scientific Committee on Mechanics and Materials in Design. This series of conferences started in 1999 and they are wholly devoted to advances in assessing the integrity, reliability and failure of engineering systems, materials, manufacturing and biomechanics. IRF2025 is jointly sponsored by the University of Porto, the University of Toronto and the Portuguese Society of Experimental Mechanics. The conference attracted over 160 contributions, with 148 accepted submissions involving 454 authors from 27 different countries. The conference themes, which address novel and advanced topics on Integrity, Reliability and Failure, focused on Theory, Experiments and Applications in Engineering, including Composite and Advanced Materials, Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics, Structural Dynamics, Mechanical Design and Prototyping, Civil Engineering Applications, Biomechanical Applications, Energy and Thermo-Fluid Systems, and Industrial Engineering, among other topics. We believe that the meeting and these proceedings offered our delegates an excellent opportunity for the discussion and dissemination of their recent work in assessing the integrity, reliability and failure of engineering structures, components and systems. They fostered research that integrates mechanics and materials in the design process, and promoted exchange of ideas and international co-operation among scientists and engineers in this important field of engineering. We are particularly indebted to the authors and special guests for their contributions. Each of the 138 approved papers offers an opportunity for thorough discussions with the authors and the scientific community. Particularly, we acknowledge the excellent contributions of the participants, their innovative ideas and research directions, the novel modelling and simulation techniques, and the invaluable critical comments. We also take this opportunity to thank the members of the International Scientific Committee and the reviewers for their time and helpful suggestions, the symposia organizers for their efforts and valuable contributions to the success of conference and this publication, and the local organizing committee for an absolutely superb organization of this “virtual” meeting. To all of them, we offer our deepest gratitude.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
