Such approaches allow a better understanding of how the material microstructure, environment and loadings affect degradation and failure mechanisms. Physics-based models are also necessary for extrapolation of data beyond operational experience and for correctly predicting the transferability between specimen tests and real components. The structural integrity and functioning of Physical components is affected by initial defects as well as by time dependent degradation mechanisms such as creep, fatigue, stress-corrosion, irradiation embrittlement and thermal ageing. The modeling and understanding of degradation mechanisms and the predictability of failure loads is constantly evolving. Recently, we have seen a trend towards physics-based models that simulate New Trends in Fatigue and Fracture NT2F15 Oran, Algeria „Fracture Mechanics and Environment“ 20-23 October 2015. the degradation and failure processes and mechanisms that operate at different length and time scales. Such approaches allow us to make better prediction of long-term performance and safety margins, transferability between specimens and components. This event will give an overview of the different physics-based models, simulations and the experimental studies for theoretical phenomena and materials. The emphasis will be on the meso-scale, corresponding to grains, which is the relevant length-scale for many basic material properties and degradation mechanisms. Associated experimental studies and the multi-scale models from dislocation to phenomenological macro-scale studies are in the scope of the Conference. The Conference is also an opportunity for scientists and engineers from Algerians Master, Phd Students, Maghreb countries Communities and EU Member States to discuss research activities that could be a basis for future collaborations. Structural Integrity and Life (ISSN 1451-3749) will be the supporting journal of the conference where all reviewed and accepted conference papers will be published. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions for publication. Venue Oran, also called Wahrān, French Ouahran, city, north western Algeria. It lies along an open bay on the Mediterranean Sea coast, about midway between Tangier, Morocco, and Algiers, at the point where Algeria is closest to Spain. With the adjacent city of Mers el-Kebir, a fishing centre at the western end of the bay, Oran is the country’s second largest port, after Algiers. Pop. (2005) 724,000; (2010 est.) 770,000. Oran was founded at the beginning of the 10th century by Andalusian merchants as a base for trade with the North African hinterland, and it developed commercially owing to its sea connections with Europe. It became the port for the North African kingdom of Tlemcen in 1437 and also was an entrepôt for trade with the Sudan. In 1492 and 1502 Oran received colonies of Spanish Muslims (Moors) 1 fleeing from forcible conversion to Christianity. Thereafter, its prosperity began to decline, and, with Mers el-Kebir, it became a centre for pirates. It was occupied by the Spanish in 1509. For the next two centuries, Oran was contested by the various Mediterranean powers until it fell to the Turks in 1708.

Devastated by an earthquake in 1790, the town was evacuated and returned (in 1792) to the Turks, who settled a Jewish community there. Oran was occupied in 1831 by the French, who developed it as a modern port and turned Mers el-Kebir into a major naval base. In the Turkish part of the old town is the Great Mosque, built in 1796 with money obtained by ransoming Spanish captives. To the east lies the Château Neuf, former residence of the beys of Oran and later a French army headquarters.
