 Grzegorz Lesiuk, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland “ Strain energy density parameters as a crack driving force in fatigue crack growth rate analysis ”  Miloš Đukić, University of Belgrade, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Serbia “ Hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms synergy in metallic materials: HELP + HEDE model ”  R. Al-Sabur, Mechanical Department, Engineering College, University of Basrah, Basrah, Iraq “ Mechanical integrity and friction stir spot welding performance of aluminum and magnesium sheets for next-generation aerospace and automotive applications ”  Nenad Vidanovi ć , University of Belgrade, Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering, Serbia “ Study on optimisation-based approach conducted to estimate the life to failure of the damaged aircraft structure exposed to complex thermo-mechanical loading ” Within 2 keynote and 9 thematic sessions, 89 talks and 21 posters were presented by more than 160 participants (110 in person, 50 online). Across 9 thematic sessions, all important aspects of fracture mechanics and structural integrity were discussed. The conference placed a special emphasis on innovations and the latest trends, artificial intelligence, a multidisciplinary approach, and case studies. These case studies included structural integrity assessment, risk analysis, and the safety of engineering structures, taking into account environmental impacts, material behavior, their characterization, and the specificity of the structures themselves. This conference is firstly followed by Book of abstracts (https://machinery.mas.bg.ac.rs/handle/123456789/8113), while this Volume of Procedia Structural Integrity contains 71 manuscripts. The DIVK12 Organizing Committee extends its sincere gratitude to all contributing authors for their engaging presentations, which were vital to the event's success. We also deeply appreciate the support from the International Scientific Committee and the dedication, knowledge, as well as to all Keynote Speakers. Our heartfelt thanks go to our sponsors; without their time and support, this conference wouldn't have been possible. Finally, the chairmen commend the tireless efforts of the Organizing Committee members, as well as the students and staff from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (University of Belgrade), IMS Institute and Innovation Center of Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade. 2. Thematic sessions and topics of the 12th Annual Conference of Society for Structural Integrity and Life (DIVK12) Aims of this international conference is to include researches concerning innovation and recent trends, multidisciplinary approach, as well as case studies, involving structural integrity assessment, risk analysis and safety of engineering structures taking into account environmental effects, materials behaviour, their characterisation, and the specificity of the structure itself. Following thematic sessions are covered by DIVK12 conference:  Computational fracture mechanics (dedicated to Prof. Dr. Mladen Berkovi ć )  Fatigue of engineering materials and structures  Failure analysis and forensic engineering  Numerical methods  Risk analysis and safety of large structures and components  Structural integrity of additive manufactured components  Structural integrity of welded joints  Data-driven methods and machine learning applied to structural integrity  Hydrogen embrittlement and transport
