Abstract

Based on the theory of the thermal conduction and the thermal elastic equations, does some researches in view of the thermal Damage of K9 glass by finite element analysis. The distribution of temperature field and thermal stress field of the ideal K9 glass which irradiated by 100W pulsed-Nd: YAG laser are simulated with finite element software. The result shows that the temperature of the surface of glass doesnt reach the melting and the thermal stress of it doesnt get to the requirement for fracture strength. Then, the model of K9 glass containing inclusions has be built. The simulation result indicates that inclusions may affect the distribution of temperature field and thermal stress field of the K9 glass, which makes the injected laser beams energy centralize on a small area around the inclusions owing to the existence of the strong absorbing, thus leading to K9 glass laser damage threshold reduction and easier to thermal damage.
