of mechanical components. Consequently, in recent years, the concept of ‘Fatigue Design’ has supplanted that of ‘Fatigue Verification’ post -design. Organized by Cetim and his partners, the 10 th Fatigue Design 2023 International Conference aim to present the most innovative approaches, scientific and technological advances in design methodologies, testing methods and tools to evaluate and extend the fatigue lifetime of the industrial equipment. The papers published in PROCEDIA STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY are mostly focusing on the industrial applications. The Nordic Countries have been designated as the ‘partner country’ for Fatigue Design 2023, particularly , in the context of cutting-edge research on fatigue and fracture mechanics in Northern Europe. Over 30% of the conference speakers hail from the Northern European region. This edition has placed a special emphasis on Fatigue Life Extension and Residual Life Assessment, featuring four keynotes on these subjects and multiple dedicated sessions. Building on the introduction of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence concepts in the previous edition, these themes will continue to be part of the conference. Additionally, a new topic related to fatigue in transmission systems will be introduced as a new point of discussion. The following scientific and technical topics are covered: • contact fatigue and fatigue in transmission system • damage tolerance and fatigue life, • experimental and numerical design and validation methods, • fatigue of assemblies (mechanical, welded, adhesive-bonding, multimaterial...), • reliability-based approaches and probabilistic methods, • influence of manufacturing process in fatigue analysis (effect of microstructure, welding, stress relief techniques...), • vibration fatigue behaviour. The papers focus on the latest development and most recent experimental, numerical simulation techniques and the associated engineering tools applied to the large domain of the industrial applications. The 10 th edition of Fatigue Design International conference is being organized in close collaboration with the proceedings’ publisher, Elsevier, and will be made available online through Structural Integrity Procedia on ScienceDirect, ensuring global accessibility for better dissemination and maximum exposure. The selection and peer review of the papers have been conducted in cooperation with the International Scientific and Organizing Committees with a minimum of two reviewers by paper. • • • • additive manufacturing, big data and Artificial Intelligence, complex loading composite and elastomers,
