Coverage of the most recent advancements and applications in laser
materials processing

This book provides state-of-the-art coverage of the field of
laser materials processing, from fundamentals to applications to
the latest research topics. The content is divided into three
succinct parts:

* Principles of laser engineering-an introduction to the basic
concepts and characteristics of lasers, design of their components,
and beam delivery

* Engineering background&-a review of engineering concepts
needed to analyze different processes: thermal analysis and fluid
flow; solidification of molten metal; and residual stresses that
evolve during processes

* Laser materials processing-a rigorous and detailed treatment of
laser materials processing and its principle applications,
including laser cutting and drilling, welding, surface
modification, laser forming, and rapid prototyping

Each chapter includes an outline, summary, and example sets to
help readers reinforce their understanding of the material. This
book is designed to prepare graduate students who will be entering
industry; researchers interested in initiating a research program;
and practicing engineers who need to stay abreast of the latest
developments in this rapidly evolving field.

Autor

Elijah Kannatey-Asibu Jr., PhD, received his BSc from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana, in 1974 and his PhD from the University of California at Berkeley in 1980. He has been with the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor since 1983. Dr. Kannatey-Asibu's research focuses on multisensor monitoring of manufacturing processes, multiple-beam laser processing, acoustic emission investigation of manufacturing processes, and microfabrication using femtosecond lasers.
