Keywords: preface, damage, fracture, modelling, prediction, diagnostics; non-destructive evaluation, environmental effects.

During operation, materials of structural elements are subjected to damages whose nature is dependent on the mode of loading and operating conditions (high and low temperatures, cyclic loading, corrosive environment, irradiation, etc.). Diagnostics of material damages and their description are highly important for the development of methods for improving the reliability, prediction of the residual life of structural elements and optimization of the physical and mechanical properties of materials. Investigations of the damage accumulation in metals involve both the development of the fundamentals for describing this phenomenon and methods for assessing the strength and life of structural and elements taking into account the whole set of the design and operational factors. VII International Conference “In - service Damage of Materials: Diagnostics and Prediction” , organized under the auspice of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS), has a long history. Previous conferences were held in Ternopil in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2021. Ternopil Ivan Puluj National Technical University, Karpenko Physico-Mechanical Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Ukrainian Society on Fracture Mechanics (USFM) and G.S. Pisarenko Institute for Problems of Strength the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine were the main organizers of these conferences.
