Laser Damage Predictions for Aluminum and Stainless Steel Plate.

摘要

Laser damage predictions have been made using 'Aerotherm Prediction Procedure for Laser Effects.' This is a computer program library. Computational work was performed on a CDC-6600 computer at the US Army Missile Command. The results show the effect of using 10.6 micrometer radiation as opposed to 3.8 micrometer radiation on aluminum, and give the temperature profiles and crater shapes at burn-through on both aluminum and stainless steel. The errors involved in using a 'uniformly heated slab' approximation are given.
