The Seventh International Conference on Very High Cycle Fatigue (VHCF7) is scheduled to be held from 3 to 5 July 2017 in Dresden, Germany. With an increasing scarcity of resources, strategies to realize the most efficient design and engineering of components and hence an optimum utilization of cyclic strength of engineering materials becomes more and more important. Nowadays a growing number of components have to withstand a very/extremely high number of loading cycles. Thus, there is a global interest in, and need for, an improved understanding of the fatigue behavior and related damage mechanisms of structural materials in the very high cycle fatigue regime in order to develop reliable fatigue life prediction methods for number of cycles far beyond 106. VHCF7 will continue the tradition to serve as a lively and fertile platform bringing together the international VHCF community and all those interested to present, discuss and learn about the latest findings from fundamental and applied research and to get to know the impact on practical applications.
