Functionally graded material (FGM) plate forming by using a modern laser technique is taken into consideration in this article. By using finite element simulation, the effects of movement speed, laser diameter, laser power, plate thickness, and the number of passes on the value of the FGM plate transverse bending angle are investigated. Finite element (FE) simulation is performed with the ABAQUS/CAE standard software package. By comparing the simulation with analytical formulas, it is observed that the FE results are in good agreement with the analytical results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
