1. A method for estimating material properties, the method comprising:
using a computer system to perform the steps of:
collecting training data comprising results from a datastore, wherein the results are generated from at least one of: physical testing of test coupons for a set of materials over a range of loads from before and after ultimate stresses, or virtual testing of the test coupons for the set of materials over the range of loads from before and after the ultimate stresses are applied to the test coupons;
training a machine learning model to output material properties using the training data; and
validating the machine learning model using validation data comprising the results of testing validation coupons over the range of loads applied to the validation coupons.
