Abstract: Laser forming as a springback-free and noncontact forming technique has been under active investigation over the last decade. Previous investigations are mainly focused on forming of large and ...

Abstract: This work developes a finite element model to compute thermal and thermomechanical phenomena during pulsed laser induced melting and solidification. The essential elements of the model are handling ...

Abstract: This paper discusses high precision microscale laser bending and the thermomechanical phenomena involved. The use of a pulsed and a CW laser for microscale bending of ceramics, silicon, and ...

Abstract: Heat transfer across metal-dielectric interfaces involves transport of electrons and phonons accomplished either by coupling between phonons in metal and dielectric or by coupling between electrons ...

Abstract: Carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays can be effective thermal interface materials with high compliance and conductance over a wide temperature range. Here, we study CNT interface structures in which ...

Abstract: Due to their excellent compliance and high thermal conductivity, dry carbon nanotube (CNT) array interfaces are promising candidates to address the thermal management needs of power dense ...
