Investigation of laser-induced plasma evolution in flexible pad laser shock forming with high speed camera

This study investigated the effect of plasma evolution, which dominates the forming load, on the fabrication of microcraters in flexible pad laser shock forming (FPLSF) using a high speed camera. It has been found that the plasma lifetime starting from plasma formation, expansion, decaying to vani...
