The theory of laser materials processing: heat and mass transfer in modern technology
Dowden, J.
The purpose of the book is to show how general principles can be used to obtain insight into laser processes. The principles used may come from fundamentalphysical theory or from direct observation of experimental results, but understanding of the general characteristics of the behaviour of a process is essential for intelligent investigation and implementation, whether the approach isexperimental, observational, numerical or analytical. The last two have a special value since the associated costs can be relatively low and may be used asa starting point for more expensive techniques. The construction of simple models whose underlying principles are easy to see is therefore of special value, and an understanding of their strengths and limitations is essential. Detailed discussion of currently significant applications of laser processing Theoretical and practical points of view linked Emphasis on underlying physical causes for observed phenomena Quantifiable mathematical reasoning Introduction to techniques for producing sound computational methods
