A Study of Lethal Effects of High Power Laser over Various Materials by Transient Thermal Analysis using Finite Element Method

Abstract: This paper describes the lethal effects of Laser during its interaction with metals. In this paper we discuss the thermal analysis for studying the changes in physical properties of different metals and alloys name copper (Cu), Aluminum (Al) and Stainless Steel (SS) using finite element analysis (FEA) technique. The ANSYS WORKBENCH 14 software was used along with 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) solid geometry to simulate the behavior of temperature distribution under thermal loading conditions. A comparative study is also done to simulate the effect of beam- combining.

The solid model Fig 2. The solid model split into hexagonal patterned circles for applying heat load
The top face of the Fig 1 is heated by Laser. The top surface of another model has a hexagonal patterned six circles and one circle at the centre as shown in Fig 2. The heat flux is non- uniform over that face. Other five faces of the solid exchange heat by convection with the surrounding air environment. The fact that the top and bottom faces have the same heat transfer coefficient means that the temperature of the solid is symmetric about a vertical plane that bisects the length of the solid. Similarly, the two sides have identical heat transfer coefficients which create a symmetry plane that bisects the breadth.
These planes further subdivide the solid into four quadrants in such a way that the temperature solution in each quadrant is identical. Hence, we need to solve the heat conduction problem in only any one of the quadrants.

FEA Treatment of Thermal Modeling
The basis for thermal analysis in ANSYS is a heat balance equation obtained from the principle of conservation of energy. The finite element solution performed via Mechanical APDL calculates nodal temperatures, and then uses the nodal temperatures to obtain other thermal quantities. The ANSYS program handles all three primary modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Mesh was created in Ansys. The mesh had 144005 elements. The fine meshing is shown in Fig 3.
Results: The transient thermal analysis was carried using Ansys Workbench 14.0 and the results were obtained for various time periods. Fig 4 shows the results for Aluminium for all three laser configurations after 60 seconds. Similarly, Fig 5 and Fig 6 show the results for Copper and Stainless Steel respectively. A comparative graph of temperature variation with depth for three materials for 1 KW laser configuration is plotted in Fig 6. A comparative graph for maximum temperature variation with time for different materials for 1KW laser configuration is plotted in Fig

The four test specimens are all made from cold drawn steel. When steel is cold drawn, the crystal structure changes and creates stress. The stress in the grains can be reduced by the process of annealing. Quenching creates small stresses because carbon does not have time to escape. The annealing process is when

Since the heat transfer process is sensitive to both velocity and temperature of the air, any changes in temperature must be compensated in order to achieve accurate mass flow measurements. Hence Fuzzy Temperature Compensation scheme (FTCS) is employed to compensate the measurement error that might occur due to this sensitivity. In this case study the FTCS is used to compensate the error occurred by using sugeno type Fuzzy inference for temperature ranging from 60-100 0C. In order to verify this proposed compensation scheme first a simulation model is developed using Matlab/Simulink. Then the algorithm for FTCS is developed using c programming language and implemented in hardware based real time using digital signal controllers.

In the generations of the immigrant labor of a Slovak family, the Dorejacks demonstrates the tough labor in America. In the novel “Out This Furnace” a captivating, non-fiction story, Thomas Bell suggests that immigrant labor in the early days was tough and factors like labor inequality, the relationship between companies and politics, and essential money shaped immigrants freedom. In the mid-1800’s George Kracha fled his country, Austria, under the ruler of Frank Josef, because of the lack of money and employment, Kracha couldn’t sustain his wife and mother (p.3). Moreover, Kracha’s story began when he arrived in New York to White Hill, he then migrates to several other cities but still in America.

Although not hot enough to completely melt the steal, it would have been more than enough to weaken the structure enough to the point of collapse. In fact, Phil Mole states “engineering estimates tell us that steel loses 50% of its strength at 1.200°F and can lose as much as 90% of its strength at temperatures of 1,800°F” (Mole, 33). If the temperature

Victor Frankenstein, the protagonist in Frankenstein, and his creature have been subject to many different interpretations. Some of them including a psychoanalytic approach based on Sigmund Freud 's theory, others have compared them to other characters from mythological stories as, for example Oedipus. However, only a few have analyzed Victor as a narcissist. The DSM-5, the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, lists among others the following traits: exaggerated self-importance, embellished and overstated achievements, belief of superiority in regard to others and fixation of imagination of success and power, as symptoms of narcissism. In this paper, I will demonstrate how these symptoms apply to the depiction

Rachel 's hand immediately moved away from the hot burner due to an automatic reflex and this prevented her from burning herself. The skin receptors in her hand was stimulated and then nerve impulse were sent to the central nervous system through the sensory neurons this is where the brain coordinates the response but not always this is known as the reflex action and in Rachel 's case her hand instantly moved from the hot burner without to much thinking.(Bbc.co.uk, 2017) In this type of automatic reflex actions are overseen by combination of neurons called the reflex arcs. In the spinal cord, the nerve impulses move from the sensory neurons to the interneurons and signals are then sent to the motor neurons which project out the spinal cord to stimulate the effector to contract like instantly moving your hand away from the hot burner this is known as the reflex arc (Owlcation, 2015).The reflex in which the hand immediately moves away from the stove is known as the polysynaptic reflex, this is a spinal reflex which is intended to protect the body from damaging the stimuli leading to stimulation of sensory and motor neurons. {(Boundless, 2017).

Heat stress is a condition in which the increase in core body temperature overwhelms the body’s homeostatic thermoregulation abilities, thus producing and absorbing more heat than the body could dissipate [1]. This results in a wide spectrum of heat-related illnesses, ranging from minor conditions such as heat cramps and heat exhaustion to the more severe condition known as heat stroke. Heat stroke is defined as a core body temperature of beyond 40.60C, commonly associated with the dysfunction of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the failure of multiple organ systems, which may ultimately result in disability or death. [2] Heat stress can be categorized into two different entities: classical and exertional. Classical or environmental heat

There are different kinds of radiation such as ionizing radiation, like x-ray’s, and non-ionizing radiation, like ultraviolet rays. Welding lets off ultraviolet rays that can damage a welder’s eyes and burn his skin. To avoid the effects of radiation when welding, a welder should wear a suede jacket that protects his skin and wear a welding shield with a lens to protect his eye from the ultraviolet rays. Electrical hazards are another major concern in welding. The hazards of electrical injury are very severe and can be caused by cutting or welding.
