Summary: | This study aimed to explore the innovative application of terahertz (THz) time-domain technique combined with machine learning approach to predict the porosity of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). To achieve accurate and nondestructive porosity measurement, reflection THz time-domain spectroscopy was applied to detect TBC samples with different porosities ranging from 1.91% to 18.21%. Through a principal component analysis (PCA), the key features of the data were retained, which reduced the 25 000 high-dimensional THz time-domain data to 9 dimensions. Hybrid machine learning models were established with THz time-domain data as input to accurately predict the porosity, which was based on backpropagation (BP) neural networks and support vector machines (SVMs). Reducing the dimensionality of the data could significantly improve the PCA-SVM prediction accuracy of the hybrid machine learning model. The mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and root-mean-squared error (RMSE) of PCA-SVM were minimal at 0.2555, 19.62%, and 2.1944, respectively, while the regression coefficient was 0.9186. The hybrid PCA-SVM model could accurately predict the porosity of TBCs. |
