Abstract

Laser percussion drilling is widely used in the aerospace industry to produce cooling holes in jet engine components. A variety of theoretical models have been developed to predict the outcome of the drilling process. However, to utilize these models often requires sophisticated software to perform the required numerical analyses. A simple and easy-to-use computer utility Drilling Routine for Estimating, Analyzing, and Modeling (DREAM) was developed. DREAM is a free-standing MATLAB-based design that offers a convenient and flexible way to predict a variety of drilling process outcomes and can be executed on any Windows-based platform. This paper discusses the features that have been incorporated into the latest release.
