In machining technologies for fibre reinforced polymers, remote laser cutting plays a special role as it can minimize the drawbacks of conventional laser cutting methods, in particular thermally induced damage such as charred edges and matrix evaporation. In this contribution, a thermal simulation model for the remote laser cutting process is presented. With the aim of a universally applicable model...
In this contribution a modelling approach for the laser cutting process simulation of carbon fibre reinforced polymers is introduced. The cutting process is modelled in a 3D thermal simulation, the material is modelled layer‐wise orthotropically. For the evaporation of matrix and fibre phase transitions are utilised. The laser spot is modelled with its gaussian distribution as a heat input on the...
