For this purpose, various machine learning algorithms are applied to a wide range of materials, loading conditions, notch geometries, and fatigue lives. Traditional approaches for this task have mostly relied on one of the mechanical response parameters, such as stress, strain, or energy. This study also concludes which of these parameters serves as a better measure. The key idea of the framework is to use the profile (field distribution represented by some points) of the mechanical response parameters (stress, strain, and energy release rate) to distinguish between different notch geometries. To demonstrate the accuracy and broad applicability of the framework, it is initially validated using metal materials, subsequently applied to specimens produced through additive manufacturing techniques, and ultimately tested on carbon fiber laminated composites. This research demonstrates the effective use of all three parameters in estimating fatigue lifetime, while stress-based predictions exhibit the highest accuracy. Among the machine learning algorithms investigated, Gradient Boosting and Random Forest yield the most successful results. A noteworthy finding is the significant improvement in prediction accuracy achieved by incorporating new data generated based on the Basquin equation. |  |\n\n1. Introduction  \nEstimating fatigue life is a vital task in the design and maintenance of various mechanical systems and structures. This process involves predicting how many cycles (life) a material can endure before failure due to cyclic loading, a phenomenon commonly encountered in real-world structures [1]. Mostly, fatigue life estimation has relied on empirical relationships derived from extensive experimental testing, focusing on mechanical response parameters, e.g., stress [2], strain [3], or energy [4]. Therefore, these methods can be time-consuming, expensive, and may lack precision for diverse materials or loading conditions. Recently, machine learning (ML) has emerged as a leading solution in the field of materials science and technology [5], specifically fatigue failure [6]. It offers the potential to enhance prediction accuracy by identifying patterns within existing datasets [7,8]. This section provides a review of the current state of the art in fatigue analysis through machine learning, initially exploring its broad applications across various problems and materials, then narrowing down to its use in additively manufactured specimens, and ultimately presenting advanced models to set  \nE-mail addresses: amir.mirzaei@polito.it, [amir.mirzaei@cranfield.ac.uk](amir.mirzaei@cranfield.ac.uk).  \n[https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engfracmech.2024.110401](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engfracmech.2024.110401)  \nReceived 14 May 2024; Received in revised form 30 July 2024; Accepted 13 August 2024 Available online 17 August 2024  \n0013-7944/© 2024 The Author(s).
