Abstract
Both experimental and simulation approaches were employed to investigate the laser ablation mechanism and performances of Glass Fiber Reinforced Phenolic Composites(GFRP).During the ablation process,the difference in thermal conductivities of the glass fibers and the resin matrix as well as their discrepant physical and chemical reactions form a conical ablation morphol-ogy.The formation of a residual carbon layer effectively mitigates the ablation rate in the thickness direction.A higher power density results in a faster ablation rate,while a longer irradiation time leads to a larger ablation pit diameter.To account for the variation in thermal conductivity between the fiber and resin,a macro-mesoscale model was developed to differentiate the matrix from the fiber components.Finite element analysis revealed that laser irradiation leads to phenolic decompo-sition,glass fiber melting vaporization,and residual carbon skeleton evaporation.The dual-scale model exhibits precise prediction capabilities concerning the laser ablation process of GFRP,and its accuracy is confirmed through the comparison of simulation and experimental results for the GFRP laser ablation process.This model provides a feasible method for performance evaluation and lifetime prediction of GFRP subjected to continuous wave laser irradiation.
