Newsletter #67-2021 National Committees Croatia Croatian Structural Integrity and Durability Group Report on ICSID 2021 https://icsid2021.fsb.hr/ 5th International Conference on Structural Integrity and Durability 2021 (ICSID 2021) and Summer School „Fatigue and Fracture Modeling and Analysis“, were organized by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture of the University of Zagreb, in Dubrovnik, Croatia, from September 6 - 10, 2021. Being globally hit by the COVID19, the ICSID 2021 Conference was organized in a “Hybrid Mode”, with one third onsite participants and two thirds online participants. The combination of on-site and online presentation guaranteed the maximum safety and conveniences for participants. Virtual participants attended the Conference online via the Zoom platform. ICSID 2021 and the Summer School were held at the Centre for Advanced Academic Studies in the city of Dubrovnik. The magnificent old building of the Centre for Advanced Academic Studies (CAAS) is situated in the center of Dubrovnik on the Croatian Adriatic Coast, in the vicinity of the most prominent historical places of the Old Town. Centre for Advanced Academic Studies in Dubrovnik (CAAS) Summer School „Fatigue and Fracture Modeling and Analysis“, was organized prior to the ICSID 2021 conference, from September 6 - 7, 2021. The Summer School provided an opportunity for students, researchers and engineers from academia and industry to get acquainted with fundamental aspects of fracture mechanics, recent trends in practical applications of fatigue and fracture models, and advanced approaches such as multiscale materials modelling. Senior researchers and experts, distinguished scientists in the field, gave lectures on experimental and numerical techniques for modelling, analysis and assessment of damaged components and structures. Examples on linear and elastic-plastic fracture mechanics models, damage mechanics models and multiscale modelling used for fatigue, fracture and failure analysis of structural materials and components were presented.
