Fatigue Design 2023 (FatDes 2023) Fatigue Design Preface Fabien Lefebvre* Cetim, 52 avenue Félix Louat, 60304, Senlis

On behalf of the Fatigue Design 2023 International Scientific Committee and Organizing Committee, we would like to thnak you all to the 10 th edition of Fatigue Design 2023 taking place at Cetim, Senlis, France on November 29 & 30 2023. This anniversary edition provides an opportunity to reflect on the origins of this conference, which has been held biennially since 2005. Indeed, the current relevance of this conference prompts us to reevaluate its title, which unites two terms that have historically been overlooked: ‘Fatigue’ and ‘Design’. In the realm of Mechanics, ‘Fatigue’ refers to ‘Fatigue Resistance’, which denotes a material’s ability to endure damage and, more broadly, a component or mechanical structure’s capacity to withstand repeated loads during service. With the contemporary demands for weight reduction, enhanced performance, and the assessment of remaining service life, mechanical stress levels have increased, and the risk of fatigue failure has become a critical concern in the design
