Numerical simulation of thermal loading produced by shaped high power laser onto engine parts

Recently a new method for simulating the thermal loading on pistons of diesel engines was reported. The spatially shaped high power laser is employed as the heat source, and some preliminary experimental and numerical work was carried out. In this paper, a further effort was made to extend this simulation method to some other important engine parts such as cylinder heads. The incident Gaussian beam was transformed into concentric multi-circular patterns of specific intensity distributions, with the aid of diffractive optical elements (DOEs). By incorporating the appropriate repetitive laser pulses, the designed transient temperature fields and thermal loadings in the engine parts could be simulated. Thermal-structural numerical models for pistons and cylinder heads were built to predict the transient temperature and thermal stress. The models were also employed to find the optimal intensity distributions of the transformed laser beam that could produce the target transient temperature fields. Comparison of experimental and numerical results demonstrated that this systematic approach is effective in simulating the thermal loading on the engine parts. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Laser-time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy in immunoassays

This paper described a laser-excited time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay set. It made lanthanide ion to couple the anhydrde of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPAA) for labeling antibodies. The experiment used polystyrene tap coated with HCV antigen as the solid phase and a chelate of the rare earth metal europium as fluorescent label. A nitrogen laser beam was used to excite the Eu3+ chelates and after 60 ys delay time,the emission fluorescence was measured. Background fluorescence of short lifetimes caused by serum components and Raman scattering can be eliminated by set the delay rime. In the system condition, fluorescent spectra and fluorescent lifetimes of Eu3+ beta-naphthoyltrifluroacetone (NTA) chelates were measured. The fluorescent lifetime value is 650 mu s. The maximum emssion wavelength is 613 nm. The linear range of europium ion concentration is 1 x 10(-7)- 1 x 10(-11) g.mL(-1) and the detection limit is 1 x 10(-13) g.mL(-1). The relative standard deviation of determination ( n = 12) for samples at 0.01 ng.mL(-1) magnitude is 6.4%. Laser-TRFIA was also found to be suitable for diagnosis of HCV. The sensitvity and specificity were comparable to enzyme immunoassay. The result was obtained with laser-TRFIA for 29 human correlated well with enzyme immunoassay.

激光诱发活塞的热负荷

活塞的热疲劳性能对柴油发动机的全寿命至关重要。由于能量有限和可控性差等缺点，现有实验系统均不能满意地进行活塞热负荷模拟实验。为此，提出并建立了一套激光诱发活塞热负荷的实验系统。该系统通过对激光束的空间整形，使之投射到活塞表面后诱发的温度场分布满足特定要求。基于PROFIBUS-DP现场总线技术实现了系统集成和实验过程的全反馈控制。针对活塞的典型热负荷条件，即高周热疲劳和热冲击分别进行实验，以模拟正常工作循环和“启动一停车”等热负荷或转速突变工况。通过设置加热一冷却周期或上限下限温度，可以获得相应的热负荷模拟实验效果。研究结果表明，采用经光束整形的激光进行活塞热负荷模拟实验具有周期短、可控性好等优点。 

球墨铸铁变换激光束淬火性能的研究

采用经过二元光学元件变换呈二维点阵7*7分布的脉冲激光束对球墨铸铁材料进行表面淬火处理，研究激光参数变化对铸铁表面的粗糙度、硬化层深度、显做硬度和耐磨性等的影响。结果表明，在一定的能量范围内，随着能量的增加，粗糙度略呈增长的趋势，硬化层深也略有增加，并存在一个硬化层深极限值。硬度峰值差别很小，而相变硬化区差别则很大。耐磨性试验表明，随着能量的增加，耐磨性有提高的趋势。

Preliminary Investigation of Fluid Flow in Meso-Scale Rectangular Tube

The fluid flow associated with micro and meso scale devices is currently of interest. Experiments were performed to study the fluid flow in meso-scale channels. A straight flow tube was fabricated with 1.0x4.0mm^2 in rectangular cross section and 200mm in length, which was made of quartz for flow visualization and PIV measurements. Reynolds numbers were ranged from 311 to over 3105. The corresponding pressure drop was from 0.65KPa to over 16.58KPa between the inlet and outlet of the tube. The micro PIV was developed to measure the velocity distribution in the tube. A set of microscope object lens was mounted ahead of CCD camera to obtain optimized optical magnification on the CCD chip. The velocity distributions near the outlet of the tube were measured to obtain full-developed flow. A CW laser beam was focused directly on the test section by a cylinder lens to form a small light sheet. Thus, high power density of light was formed on the view region. It is very important to the experiment while the velocity of the flow reaches to a few meters per second within millimeter scale. In this case, it is necessary to reduce exposure time to microseconds for PIV measurements. In the present paper, the experimental results are compared with the classical theories.

YAG激光毛化技术进展

二十世纪八十年代，当比利时冶金研究中心(CRM)开发出CO_2激光毛化冷轧辊技术后，尝试用YAG激光进行轧辊毛化一直吸引着众多的研究者，这是因为YAG(1.06μm)激光波长比CO_2(10.6μm)激光波长短一个量级，材料对YAG激光有更高的吸收率，并用YAG激光可以聚焦到更小的光斑尺寸，同时使用电信号驱动的声光开关技术便于对毛化分布进行可设定控制。但是用传统声光调制的YAG激光虽然可以碇以很高的脉冲频率(>30kHz)，但单脉冲有量仅为10mJ左右，难以达到辊面毛化粗糙度的要求，因此人们认为YAG激光用于毛化的主要困难是脉冲能量太小。

同轴送粉激光成形中粉末与激光的相互作用

详细介绍了同轴送粉激光成形过程中,金属粉末与激光束相互作用时间的计算方法。在ANSYS软件平台上,建立了金属粉末穿越激光束过程中粉末温度场的计算模型。系统计算了不同颗粒大小316L不锈钢粉末与不同功率激光束相互作用后的温度。在此基础上,计算了金属粉末与激光束的能量交换及金属粉末落入激光熔池后与激光熔池的能量交换。计算结果表明,在激光束直径为3 mm条件下,316L不锈钢粉末穿过功率大于1000 W的激光束后,所有尺寸金属粉末均被熔化,即金属粉末以液态进入激光熔池。通过金属粉末与激光束及激光熔池的能量交换计算,可知在激光成形中,约有5%的激光能量用于加热和熔化粉末,而大约95%的激光能量用于激光熔池的形成及由于热传导造成的热量损失。

柔性加工中高功率激光束空间变换研究

在国民经济中占有重要地位的汽车工业中，对于大型覆盖件模具的表面强化处理，最常见的是火焰淬火。火焰淬火对操作人员的要求高，可控性差，效果不理想，但是由于一直没有适合的方法，目前也只能继续使用。而激光表面强化技术结合柔性加工系统正是解决这类问题的新途径。传统的激光表面强化是采用把激光束离焦后进行扫描的方式，这种方法不能充分利用激光功率密度，而且往往要用转镜或振镜形成条形光斑来加快处理速度，这就需要复杂的机械结构，而且产生难以避免的重叠回火。我们提出一种新方法，利用二元光学元件来获得一种新型的周期光强分布，实现其在高功率激光系统中的应用，并设计成为集成到柔性加工系统中的组成部分，能够完成对大、中型模具表面的激光强化处理。本论文的工作主要是有关激光柔性加工系统中的光束传输及变换子系统，不仅包括理论设计、加工制作，同时还包括把该子系统有效的结合到整个系统中。本研究工作广泛涉及激光理论，光束变换和光纤传输，系统中的模块化集成应用技术，金属材料的特殊分布光强表面改性试验研究等等，是跨学科的交叉研究工作。在本论文中，重点是二元光学元件的设计方法的选择、计算机辅助设计的实现、二元光学元件的制作和在高功率激光传输中的应用，以及特殊光强分布应用于金属表面改性中的相关工作。通过把二元光学元件引入到高功率激光加工中，对出现的新现象给出一定的预测和分析，并获得了良好的强化结果，最终实现了系统的集成化，并具有实际生产所要求的可靠性和灵活性。本论文共分六章，主要包括两方面的内容。第一章为绪论，第六章为结论。第一方面内容在第二章到第四章中说明，是用于高功率激光应用中的二元光学元件的原理、设计和制作。第二方面的内容在第五章中，是关于应用前面设计制作的二元光学元件，在实际的金属材料表面处理中的实验研究，给出了相关试验结果。

Space-frequency coupling, conical waves, and small-scale filamentation in water

Numerical simulations of fs laser propagation in water have been made to explain the small-scale filaments in water we have observed by a nonlinear fluorescence technique. Some analytical descriptions combined with numerical simulations show that a space-frequency coupling mainly from the interplay among self-phase modulation, dispersion and phase mismatching will reshape the laser beam into a conical wave which plays a major role of energy redistribution and can prevent laser beam from self-guiding over a long distance. An effective group velocity dispersion is introduced to explain the pulse broadening and compression in the filamentation. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
