description The bamboo–wood composite container floor (BWCCF) has been wildly utilized in transportation in recent years. However, most of the common approaches of mechanics detection are conducted in a time-consuming and resource wasting way. Therefore, this paper aims to provide a frugal and highly efficient method to predict the short-span shear stress, the modulus of rupture (MOR) and the modulus of elasticity (MOE) of the BWCCF. Artificial neural network (ANN) models were developed and support vector machine (SVM) models were constructed for comparative study by taking the characteristic parameters of image processing as input and the mechanical properties as output. The results show that the SVM models can output better values than the ANN models. In a prediction of the three mechanical properties by SVMs, the correlation coefficients (R) were determined as 0.899, 0.926, and 0.949, and the mean absolute percentage errors (MAPE) were obtained, 6.983%, 5.873%, and 4.474%, respectively. The performance measures show the strong generalization of the SVM models. The discoveries in this work provide new perspectives on the study of mechanical properties of the BWCCF combining machine learning and image processing.
