Mechanical Integrity and Risk-Based Inspection of Process Equipment, Piping and Pipelines

Jorge Luis Gonzalez Velazquez has served as Professor in the Metallurgy and Materials Department at the Instituto Politecnico Nacional (National Polytechnic Institute) of Mexico since 1990. He earned his B.S. in metallurgical engineering and M.S. from the same institution. His academic journey continued with a Ph.D. from The University of Connecticut, USA, in 1989, followed by post-doctoral studies under a Mexico-Japan collaboration agreement from 1993 to 1995. Joining IPN in March 1990, he has been actively involved in teaching various subjects, including Fracture Mechanics, Mechanical Behavior of Materials, and Fractography, at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Concurrently, over the past 30 years, he has contributed to research and technological development projects for private and government industries, pioneering the introduction of Structural Integrity into the Oil and Gas sector in Mexico.

Jorge Luis Gonzalez Velazquez 自1990年以來擔任墨西哥國立工業學院（Instituto Politecnico Nacional）冶金與材料系的教授。他在同一機構獲得冶金工程學士學位及碩士學位。其學術旅程於1989年在美國康乃爾大學（The University of Connecticut）獲得博士學位，隨後於1993年至1995年期間在墨日合作協議下進行博士後研究。自1990年3月加入國立工業學院以來，他積極參與教授多個科目，包括斷裂力學、材料的機械行為及斷裂學，涵蓋本科及研究生層級。同時，在過去30年中，他為私營及政府產業的研究與技術開發專案做出了貢獻，並在墨西哥的石油和天然氣領域開創性地引入了結構完整性（Structural Integrity）的概念。
