Achieving ultra-lightweight magnesium-aluminum syntactic foams (MASFs) with retained compressive strength and energy absorption is hindered by severe property degradation at high hollow microspheres (HMs) volume fractions, primarily driven by microstructural instabilities. We present a synergistic multiscale framework integrating experiments, high-resolution finite element analysis (FEA) decoding the micromechanics of deformation and failure, and machine learning (ML) models trained on combined experimental and simulated data to establish predictive performance maps. FEA simulations quantify how increasing Ni-HMs fraction (30 → 60 vol%) shifts failure from uniform matrix yielding to localized stress concentration around pores and at microsphere contact points, leading to progressive collapse and explaining the observed 48.3 % strength drop. Nickel coating enhances load transfer initially but geometric constraints at high fractions dominate failure, limiting gains. ML models (SVR R2 = 0.94/0.91) leverage FEA-validated microstructure-performance relationships to achieve high-fidelity prediction. Feature importance analysis confirms volume fraction and sintering temperature as key levers for microstructural control. This framework provides a physics-aware pathway to navigate the lightweighting-strength-absorption trade-off, enabling rapid identification of optimal processing conditions.
期刊介绍:
Composites Communications (Compos. Commun.) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing short communications and letters on the latest advances in composites science and technology. With a rapid review and publication process, its goal is to disseminate new knowledge promptly within the composites community. The journal welcomes manuscripts presenting creative concepts and new findings in design, state-of-the-art approaches in processing, synthesis, characterization, and mechanics modeling. In addition to traditional fiber-/particulate-reinforced engineering composites, it encourages submissions on composites with exceptional physical, mechanical, and fracture properties, as well as those with unique functions and significant application potential. This includes biomimetic and bio-inspired composites for biomedical applications, functional nano-composites for thermal management and energy applications, and composites designed for extreme service environments.
