Study of Polymer Matrix Degradation Behavior in CFRP Short Pulsed Laser Processing

Short pulsed laser is preferred to avoid the thermal damage in processing the heat sensitive material, such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). In this paper, a numerical model capturing both the material ablation and polymer matrix pyrolysis processes in pulsed laser processing is establishe...
