Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms have considerable potential to influence the prediction of material properties. Additive materials have a unique property prediction challenge in the form of surface roughness effects on fatigue behavior of structural components. Traditional approaches using finite element methods to calculate stress risers associated with additively built surfaces have been challenging due to the computational resources required, often taking over a day to calculate a single sample prediction. To address this performance challenge, Deep Learning has been employed to enable low cycle fatigue life prediction in additive materials in a matter of seconds.
