Abstract

An analytical solution for lattice temperature distribution in a metallic solid subjected to laser short-pulse heating is presented. The method of similarity solution is adopted for the solution of the diffusive–ballistic energy equation. Volumetric and surface heat sources are each incorporated separately in the analysis. The material thermal response due to both heat sources during the short heating period is analyzed. It is found that a volumetric heat source resulted in smaller temperature increase in the irradiated material than a surface heat source, despite the same laser power intensity being used in both cases. This is attributed to energy transport mechanisms taking place in the solid substrate due to volumetric and surface heat sources.
