Laser Heating Applications, 1st Edition

Key Features

• Detailed analytical solutions for laser heating problems (including thermal stress) aids analysis of linkage between process parameters, such as laser pulse and laser intensity, and material response, such as temperature and stress
• Encompasses practical solutions to thermal heating problems (unlike the length solutions of numerical schemes)
• Extensive fourier and non-fourier treatments and consequent analysis provides improved understanding of mathematical transformations
