3D-printed continuous natural fiber reinforced biocomposites have promising prospects due to their environmental friendliness and suitable mechanical properties. Understanding the dynamic mechanical properties of 3D-printed biocomposites is essential to expand their application. In this study, the continuous ramie fiber reinforced biocomposites (CRFRC) with different layer thicknesses and hatch spacings were fabricated via 3D printing technique with microstructure characterized. In addition, the dynamic strengths of 3D-printed CRFRC at four strain rates were investigated. The experimental results exhibited that the printing parameters presented nonlinear and interactive influences on the dynamic strength of CRFRC. Given this circumstance, machine learning methods were employed to link the dynamic strength of 3Dprinted CRFRC with different printing parameters. The experimental data were used to train, calibrate, and validate the machine learning models. The trained models were then utilized to predict the dynamic strength of CRFRC printed using different conditions. Behaviors under multiple strain rates were investigated over the whole parameter space. A good agreement was found between experimental results and predictions. Based on the prediction results, the relationships between parameters, microstructural characteristics and dynamic strength of printed CRFRC were quantitatively analyzed.
