    In flexible manufacturing systems, fast feedback from simulation solutions is required for effective tool path planning and parameter optimization. In the particular sub-domain of laser heating/cutting of thin rectangular plates, current state-of-the-art methods include frequency-domain (spectral) analytic solutions that greatly reduce the required computational time in comparison to industry standard finite element based approaches. However, these spectral solutions have not been presented previously in terms of Fourier methods and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) implementations. This manuscript presents four different schemes that translate the problem of laser heating of rectangular plates into equivalent FFT problems. The presented schemes make use of the FFT algorithm to reduce the computational time complexity of the problem from O(M2N2) to O(MN log(MN)) (with M× N being the discretization size of the plate). The test results show that the implemented schemes outperform previous non-FFT approaches both in CPU and GPU hardware, resulting in 100× faster runs. Future work addresses thermal/stress analysis, non-rectangular geometries and non-linear interactions (such as material melting/ablation, convection and radiation heat transfer). © 2020 by the authors.

    Frequency-domain analytic method for efficient thermal simulation under curved trajectories laser heating
    (Elsevier BV, 2019-01-01) Mejia-Parra D.; Moreno A.; Posada J.; Ruiz-Salguero O.; Barandiaran I.; Poza J.C.; Chopitea R.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Laboratorio CAD/CAM/CAE
    In the context of Computer Simulation, the problem of heat transfer analysis of thin plate laser heating is relevant for downstream simulations of machining processes. Alternatives to address the problem include (i) numerical methods, which require unaffordable time and storage computing resources even for very small domains, (ii) analytical methods, which are less expensive but are limited to simple geometries, straight trajectories and do not account for material non-linearities or convective cooling. This manuscript presents a parallel efficient analytic method to determine, in a thin plate under convective cooling, the transient temperature field resulting from application of a laser spot following a curved trajectory. Convergence of both FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and the analytic approaches for a small planar plate is presented, estimating a maximum relative error for the analytic approach below 3.5% at the laser spot. Measured computing times evidence superior efficiency of the analytic approach w.r.t. FEA. A study case, with the analytic solution, for a large spatial and time domain (1m×1m and 12s history, respectively) is presented. This case is not tractable with FEA, where domains larger than 0.05m×0.05m and 2s require high amounts of computing time and storage. © 2019 International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (IMACS)
