Abstract

In order to simulate the interaction between high power laser and carbon fiber polymer composites, a 1D finite element model has been developed to research the decomposition process of composite pyrolysis. Mass and energy balance equations and gas convection have been solved in the model. The results of the computer simulation show a narrow reaction region formed in the composite with a huge pore pressure.
