Presented at ICALEO 2006
Laser materials processing is a modern joining technology often applied in the automotive industry. The process result is influenced by the user defined process parameters on the on hand and uncontrollable disturbance variables on the other. Nowadays the user defines process parameters located well inside the process window thus not fully exploiting the process possibilities. The reason for th...$28.00

On line quality monitoring in industrial plants is an open field for signal processing application. In this paper we propose the reassigned time-frequency representations as useful signal analysis technique, for improving the laser welding process monitoring. We briefly recall the fundamental concepts of the theory of time-frequency representation, reporting some interestin...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2006
High flexibility and consistent quality are key benefits of laser welding in production. However, little jitter of welding trajectory and velocity are required; e.g. in butt welding the focal point of the laser beam with respect to the joint must be maintained with accuracy better than 50 - 100 microns, depending on the focused beam radius. To meet these requirements, seam tracking devices a...$28.00

In the past many models for the keyhole laser welding process have been proposed. These models range from very complex and computationally intensive to strongly simplified models. The model presented in this paper includes the essential physics, yet is sufficiently simple to run on a normal PC. The coupled ...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2006
Laser Cladding (LC) and Direct Material Deposition (DMD) are well established Rapid Manufacturing techniques, in which a heat source -the laser beam- is brought together with a mass source -usually delivered in the form of a powder- in order to produce a 3D object. 3D transient thermal and mechanical lagrangean FE models, consistent with the additive nature of the process, were developed using the AbaqusTM software pa...$28.00
