AbstractThe rapid advancement of additive manufacturing has enabled the design of high-strength, lightweight metallic components for fatigue-critical applications such as aircraft engines, high-speed trains, and space systems. However, these components are increasingly expected to perform reliably under extremely long service lives, often exceeding 10 million loading cycles. This regime, known as very high cycle fatigue, remains a largely unexplored frontier, particularly for advanced additively manufac
