Abstract:The characteristics of plumes during continuous wave laser irradiation of laminated carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) under tangential air flow or nitrogen gas flow are investigated. The temperature of the plume is measured by the infrared thermal imager. The change in relative mass concentration of the plume is studied by the laser extinction method. The front surface emissivity-corrected temperature maps of CFRP are measured by the infrared thermal imager to estimate the influences of plumes. The highe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
