Characteristics of the laser interaction with chosen ceramic materials
Chosen ceramic materials of laboratory products important for microelectronics, microwave techniques and medical applications, have been exposed to pulsed laser beams in various regimes of operation (free generation, Q-switched and femto second regimes are included with different frequencies and number of pulses). Characteristic damages in these regimes are analyzed by the techniques of SEM, optical microscopy, micro hardness, etc. Obtained micrographs later served for image analysis by using quantification methods and corresponding tools for image processing. According to chosen processing, the information on the source itself (the laser), and power distribution in the beam, material resistance (hardness) to fluencies can be obtained
Assessment results of fluid-structure interaction numerical simulation using fuzzy logic
A fuzzy approximation concept is applied in order to predict results of
coupled computational structure mechanics and computational fluid dynamics
while solving a problem of steady incompressible gas flow through thermally
loaded rectangular thin-walled channel. Channel wall deforms into wave - type
shapes depending on thermal load and fluid inlet velocity inducing the
changes of fluid flow accordingly. A set of fluid - structure interaction
(FSI) numerical tests have been defined by varying the values of fluid inlet
velocity, temperature of inner and outer surface of the channel wall and
numerical grid density. The unsteady Navier-Stokes equations are numerically
solved using an element-based finite volume method and second order backward
Euler discretization scheme. The structural model is solved by finite element
method including geometric and material nonlinearities. The implicit two-way
iterative code coupling, partitioned solution approach, were used while
solving these numerical tests. Results of numerical analysis indicate that
gravity and pressure distribution inside the channel contributes to
triggering the shape of deformation. In the inverse problem, the results of
FSI numerical simulations formed a database of input variables for
development fuzzy logic based models considering downstream pressure drop and
maximum stresses as the objective functions. Developed fuzzy models predicted
targeting results within a reasonable accuracy limit at lower computation
cost compared to series of FSI numerical calculations. Smaller relative
difference were obtained when calculating the values of pressure drop then
maximal stresses indicating that transfer function influence on output values
have to be additionally investigated. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike
