Reliable real-time analysis of sensor data is essential for structural health monitoring (SHM) of high-value assets, yet a major challenge is to obtain spatially resolved full-field aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties for trustworthy decision-making. We present an integrated SHM framework that combines principal component analysis (PCA), a Bayesian neural network (BNN), and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) inference, mapping sparse strain gauge measurements onto leading PCA modes to reconstruct full-field strain distributions with uncertainty quantification. The framework was validated through cyclic four-point bending tests on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) specimens with varying crack lengths, achieving accurate strain field reconstruction (R squared value > 0.9) while simultaneously producing real-time uncertainty fields. A key contribution is that the BNN yields robust full-field strain reconstructions from noisy experimental data with crack-induced strain singularities, while also providing explicit representations of two complementary uncertainty fields. Considered jointly in full-field form, the aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty fields make it possible to diagnose at a local level, whether low-confidence regions are driven by data-inherent issues or by model-related limitations, thereby supporting reliable decision-making. Collectively, the results demonstrate that the proposed framework advances SHM toward trustworthy digital twin deployment and risk-aware structural diagnostics.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping inverse design in manufacturing, enabling high-performance discovery in materials, products, and processes. However, purely data-driven approaches often struggle in realistic manufacturing settings characterized by sparse data, high-dimensional design spaces, and complex constraints. This perspective proposes an integrated framework built on three complementary pillars: domain knowledge to establish physically meaningful objectives and constraints while removing variables with limited relevance, physics-informed machine learning to enhance generalization under limited or biased data, and large language model-based interfaces to support intuitive, human-centered interaction. Using injection molding as an illustrative example, we demonstrate how these components can operate in practice and conclude by highlighting key challenges for applying such approaches in realistic manufacturing environments.
