Residual stresses within components can impact performance, and accurately determining their distributions is crucial for structural integrity.
A machine learning-based Residual Stress Generator (RSG) was developed to infer full-field stresses from limited measurements.
The RSG utilized an extensive dataset from process simulations and a ML model based on U-Net architecture for prediction.
The model showed excellent predictive accuracy on simulated stresses and effectively predicted experimentally characterized data, reducing the need for extensive experimental efforts.
