Estimation and optimization of reinforcement parameters for composite material using a machine learning approach
摘要
The mechanical properties of Metal Powder Reinforced Polymer Matrix (MPRPM) composite materials are significantly influenced by various reinforcement parameters, such as the particle size of the reinforcement material and the loading weight% of the reinforcement metal powder in the matrix. In this study, composite samples were prepared by reinforcing metal powder into a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) matrix, followed by mechanical testing to evaluate tensile strength, flexural strength, and percentage elongation. A machine learning-based predictive models utilizing the Random Forest (RF) and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm were developed to estimate the effects of the particle size of the reinforcement and metal powder loading by weight% on these mechanical properties. The model demonstrated outstanding accuracy with
