Researchers have developed a technique to quickly determine certain properties of a material, like stress and strain, based on an image of the material showing its internal structure. The approach could one day eliminate the need for physics-based calculations, instead relying on computer vision and machine learning to generate estimates in real time. The advance could enable faster design prototyping and material inspections.
