In the paper a simple geometrical model is proposed to explain the observation that in the certain thin plates made of steels the ductile failure plane is not inclined by 45 degrees to the plane of the maximum principle stress. This angle is smaller. The hypothesis was supported by results of the numerical observations.
An all-fiber thulium-doped fiber laser operating at a wavelength of 1940 nm is reported. A maximum output continuous-wave power of 70.7 W with a slope efficiency of 59%, determined with respect to the absorbed pump power, was demonstrated. The laser delivered almost a single-mode beam with a beam quality factor of < 1.3.Full Text: PDF ReferencesM. N. Zervas and C. A. Codemard, "High Power Fiber Lasers: A Review", IEEE J. Sel. Top.
