Therefore, precise and efficient assessment of microhardness and residual stress is vital for the successful implementation of LSP in industrial applications. In this paper, we propose a physics-informed machine learning (ML) model to address these assessment challenges and accurately predict the residual stress and microhardness of metallic materials after LSP. Firstly, different physical parameters are determined according to their corresponding mechanisms, and ABAQUS software is used to resolve the attenuation characteristics of shock waves induced by lasers. Subsequently, these identified physical parameters are utilized as input features for the artificial neural networks (ANN) model in order to forecast residual stress and microhardness. The predicted results reveal that our model exhibits a high level of precision in predicting microhardness (correlation coefficient of 0.99935) and residual stress (correlation coefficient of 0.99562) for a wide range of materials subjected to LSP. By comparing our physics-informed ML model with the traditional ANN models and empirical formula, its superior performance is effectively demonstrated in terms of accuracy and effectiveness (lower error and higher precision). Its superiority lies in the effective integration of ML methods’ representational capabilities with the combination of domain knowledge and physical understanding. This approach not only establishes a robust theoretical foundation for predicting these behaviors but also holds great promise for practical applications in industries that utilize LSP due to the universality for various materials.","PeriodicalId":19597,"journal":{"name":"Optics & Laser Technology","volume":"148 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142219871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The distance between the position of the droplet falling into the molten pool and the keyhole was statistically analyzed to determine the effect of the change in the droplet transfer behavior on welding stability. Results revealed that a strong reactive force from metal vapor was generated as the laser power exceeded 6.5 kW, causing the droplet transfer trajectory to shift, which enhanced welding stability. The stability of the keyhole became worse when the laser power was increased to 9.5 kW. As the arc power increased from 4096 to 6860 W, the droplet transfer mode appeared as a mixed transfer mode dominated by globular droplet transfer, projected droplet transfer, and spray droplet transfer. A single-spray droplet transfer mode was discerned when the arc power exceeded 7394 W. In this regard, the increased arc power will enhance the stability of the welding process. Excessively large or small values will lead to poor welding stability, with the former attributed to the strong mutual interference between the laser and arc and the latter ascribed to the weakened attraction of the laser to the arc. Moreover, arc stability and droplet transfer frequency decreased with an increasing welding speed.","PeriodicalId":19597,"journal":{"name":"Optics & Laser Technology","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142219875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when the DIC method uses a small resolution camera to measure large-sized objects, the resolution of speckle images will decrease. This not only leads to a decrease in the resolution of the measured deformation field, but also reduces the speckle size in the image, resulting in a decrease in measurement accuracy. To improve the resolution of the speckle image, we propose a deep learning-based speckle image super-resolution approach, named Speckle-SRGAN. Speckle-SRGAN is designed based on the high-frequency and fine texture characteristics of speckle images, and it introduces coordinate attention mechanism and global depth residual module to preserve high-frequency and fine textures. Low resolution speckle images are processed by Speckle-SRGAN to transform into high-resolution speckle images with high fidelity. Simulation and experimental results show that Speckle-SRGAN can increase the resolution of speckle image by 4 times and the speckle is smooth without loss of details. The real experiment also shows that using our method to preprocess speckle images can reduce the measurement error of traditional DIC methods by about 0.01 pixels.

Deep learning-based Computer-generated holography can learn the mapping relationship between input images and holographic images, which offers faster computation speed and better image quality comparing with direct encoding and iterative optimization methods. However, most methods typically employ stacked convolutional layers to expand the receptive field, which leads to a sharp increase in computational cost as well as number of parameters. We proposed a rapid computer-generated holograms method with lightweight local and global self-attention networks (LGSANet), which performs phase encoding of input images as an alternative to the conventional holographic method for recording object information. Once the network training is completed, it is possible to perform high quality holograms with a spatial resolution of 1920 × 1080 within 39 ms. By importing the encoded phase of input images into a spatial light modulator (SLM), a clear reconstructed image can be obtained at the observation plane by irradiating the SLM with a reference light (@λ = 532 nm).

The correlation between the surface quality of the subtractive process and the process parameters of additive manufacturing has been established in this work. The results demonstrate that a high linear energy density can improve the surface quality of the subtractive process. To comprehensively analyze the mechanisms, field emission scanning electron microscopy and nanoindentation are employed to investigate the microstructure and mechanical behavior of the ASHMed specimens. It is observed that increasing linear energy density can strengthen the tempering effect on the previously deposited layer, thereby promoting the precipitation of MC (M=Mo) carbides along the grain boundary and reducing defects at the grain boundary. Furthermore, this enhancement reinforces the grain boundary strength, leading to a transition in the fracture mechanism from intergranular to transgranular fracture during the subtractive process. As a result, the surface roughness of ASHMed samples improves with increasing linear energy density. Additionally, the finite element simulation of the ASHM process was performed, demonstrating a close correspondence with experimental results, with an error margin of 6.30 %.

The proposed algorithm operates in three steps. First, a sequential gray morphological reconstruction (SGMR) technique is introduced to effectively remove noise by eliminating bright and dark connected regions in the image. Second, the difference of sequential gray morphological reconstruction (DoSGMR) is designed to extract salient information at various scales, enabling the enhancement of details without amplifying noise. Third, an adaptive fusion strategy is designed to integrate the extracted salient information, enhancing the contrast while simultaneously addressing overexposure and underexposure problems.
