Experimental investigation and numerical simulation of the influence of the strain rate in laser forming are presented. To isolate and effectively study the strain rate effects, which are temperature dependent, a "constant peak temperature" method is developed with the aid of numerical modeling and solution. Under the condition of the constant peak temperature, the effects of strain rate on for...

This paper investigates the condition of constant line energy, that is, the ratio of laser power to scanning velocity is kept constant. Under the condition, the effects of velocity change on temperature, net energy input, strain rate and material flow stress are studied. Their collective effects on dimension, residual stress, hardness and microstructure are also presented. Numerical results are...

Laser flexible shock micro-bulging (LFSB) is a novel micro fabrication technology, which combines laser dynamic forming and flexible die forming, which is a type of high strain rate micro-forming. The LFSB of 304 stainless steel foils was investigated in this paper. Experimental and simulated results indicated that the bulging depth and thickness thinning rate of bulging parts increased with an...

Laser peen forming (LPF) is a metal process that utilizes laser-induced mechanical shock waves to form desired shapes or modify bent structures. The present work focuses on the applicability of LPF Ti-6Al-4V sheets, identify an optimal parameter window and achieve bending without compromising surface quality within peened region. effect parameters, i.e. laser power density, overlap, type sacrif...

Abstract The present work will address the problem of designing an in-process control system for a tube hydro-forming process, controlling tool filling forming T-tube. is nontrivial as wrinkling and bursting develop rapidly and, in most cases, are irreversible—thus, must react fast without extensive overshoot. objective to filling, reproducing reference trajectory, where controller input define...

in this article, stress analysis and energy estimation during cold-roll forming of symmetrical channel sections have been discussed. geometry of sheet strip is pre-estimated by a shape function. then longitudinal, transversal and shear strains have been calculated. using both the levy-mises and the prandtl reuss equations, and also considering the bauschinger effect, stress distributions have b...

Damage of the normal tissue is a serious concenrn in cancer treatment. Hyperthermia by laserhas been considered as a safe cancer treatments methods with lower harmful effects on normaltissues. Using nanoparticles in cancer treatment has improved laser therapy, which is based ona selective cell targeting method to localize cell damages. Metallic nanoparticles such as gold,silver, and copper have...

introduction: the aim of the present in vitro study was to evaluate the disinfection ability of 980-nm diode laser in comparison with sodium hypochlorite (naocl) as a common root canal irrigant in canals infected with enterococcus faecalis ( e. faecalis ). methods and materials: the root canals of 18 extracted single-rooted premolars were prepared by rotary system. after decoronation, the roots...
