The revised edition of this important reference volume presents an
expanded overview of the analytical and numerical approaches
employed when exploring and developing modern laser materials
processing techniques. The book shows how general principles can be
used to obtain insight into laser processes, whether derived from
fundamental physical theory or from direct observation of
experimental results. The book gives readers an understanding of
the strengths and limitations of simple numerical and analytical
models that can then be used as the starting-point for more
elaborate models of specific practical, theoretical or commercial
value. Following an introduction to the mathematical formulation of
some relevant classes of physical ideas, the core of the book
consists of chapters addressing key applications in detail:
cutting, keyhole welding, drilling, arc and hybrid laser-arc
welding, hardening, cladding and forming. The second edition
includes a new a chapter on glass cutting with lasers, as employed
in the display industry. A further addition is a chapter on
meta-modelling, whose purpose is to construct fast, simple and
reliable models based on appropriate sources of information. It
then makes it easy to explore data visually and is a convenient
interactive tool for scientists to improve the quality of their
models and for developers when designing their processes. As in the
first edition, the book ends with an updated introduction to
comprehensive numerical simulation. Although the book focuses on
laser interactions with materials, many of the principles and
methods explored can be applied to thermal modelling in a variety
of different fields and at different power levels. It is aimed
principally however at academic and industrial researchers and
developers in the field of laser technology.
