Abstract

The dynamic response of a thin steel disk to a transient thermal pulse induced by a pulsed neodymium-glass laser was studied experimentally and compared with numerical results from a finite-element code. The experiment was designed to provide data for evaluation of a disk sample configuration for proposed erosion and corrosion experiments using laser deposition.
