摘要

The complex and heterogeneous microstructure of aluminum foam poses challenges for accurate mechanical characterization using traditional methods such as finite element analysis and analytical models. In this study, machine learning techniques were employed to develop a data-driven approach for predicting the compressive stress of aluminum foam based on key structural parameters. Experimental data involving porosity, mean pore size, and strain were used as input features, while compressive stress served as the output variable. Five regression models—Random Forest Regression (RFR), Bayesian Regression, Support Vector Machine Regression, Artificial Neural Network Regression, and Recurrent Neural Network Regression—were trained and compared. Among them, the RFR model exhibited the best performance, achieving an R2 of 0.9576, MAE of 0.8810 MPa, and RMSE of 1.9615 MPa. The model’s predictions showed excellent agreement with experimental results, with an average error of ± 0.0664 MPa. This work demonstrates a robust and interpretable data-driven framework for aluminum foam characterization, significantly reducing the reliance on extensive experimental testing.
