A Study of Multiple Laser Shock Micro-Adjustment Using Numerical Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Laser shock micro-adjustment is a precise and noncontact adjustment technique using laser-shock-waves to adjust the curvature of micro-components. The experimental studies have indicated that: when laser shock region is located at the free end of cantilevers, multiple impacts are applied to achieve a large bending degree; meanwhile, different bending directions can be obtained with multiple impacts in the junction position. Efforts should been made to understand the mechanisms of multiple laser shock micro-adjustment. Two mechanisms have been proposed for describing the laser shock micro-adjustment in different laser shock regions, namely shock inertia mechanism and material flow mechanism. The proposed micro-adjustment mechanisms can predict bending angles and directions. To validate the proposed micro-adjustment mechanisms, numerical simulations were carried out based on the FEM method using the ANSYS/LS-DYNA software and the corresponding results demonstrate the proposed mechanisms.
