Analytical solution of transient heat conduction in a bi-layered circular plate irradiated by laser pulse

Abstract

In this study, the heat conduction behavior of a bi-layered circular plate during pulsed laser heating is investigated. A laser pulse with non-Gaussian temporal form is applied to the center of the top surface of the plate at the beginning of time. The spatial distribution of the heat energy of the laser pulse is also considered. The Green’s function for heat conduction equation of two-dimensional laminated structure is determined and is used to derive the analytical expression of temperature increment of the problem. The validation of this theoretical model is obtained through comparison with numerical results obtained by the ANSYS software package. The spatial and temporal variations of the temperature increment are illustrated. The influence of the duration time of the laser pulse on the temperature increment is also analyzed.
