Development of a Numerical Model to Simulate Laser-Shock Paint Stripping on Aluminum Substrates

An explicit 3D Finite Element (FE) model was developed in the LS-Dyna code to simulate the laser shock paint stripping on aircraft aluminum substrates. The main objective of the model is to explain the physical mechanisms of the laser shock stripping process in terms of shock wave propagation, stres...
