This study focuses on modeling the fatigue crack growth rate of QSTE340TM steel using a neural network. This material is a thermomechanically rolled high-strength, low-alloy steel with a yield strength of at least 340 MPa, offering a combination of strength, weldability, and excellent cold-forming properties. It’s a go-to material for automotive and structural applications where durability and lightweight design are critical. The classical deterministic methods for assessing fatigue crack growth rates are often quite expensive and require a well-equipped testing facility. In contrast, in recent decades, the methods of  machine learning have become widespread thanks to their ability to discover previously unobvious data-driven dependencies. Machine learning is a part of artificial intelligence. It is trained on existing data and improves over time without requiring explicit programming. The experimental dataset was taken from open scientific sources. It contained the fatigue crack growth rate data for four stress ratios of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and fatigue crack growth rate da/dN, and stress ratio R. The target feature was da/dN, and the two rest were treated as input features. The model was shown only the data with stress ratio R that was equal to 0.1, 0.3, and 0.7. The model was tested on fatigue crack growth rate data with a stress ratio (R) of 0.5. The neural network model in the form on multilayer perceptron was built. The model consisted of two hidden layers, each with 100 and 80 neurons, respectively. The activation function was RELU. The solver was chosen as Adam, and maximum iterations parameter was 500. The model's errors were as follows: MSE = 1.238e-10, MAE = 8.594e-06, and R² = 0.95346. From the obtained results, neural network gives quite accurate prediction results and can solve such kinds of problems.
