“…This technology employs a beam of focused light to complete a wide variety of material processing operations. LBM includes the use of a high-energy laser beam to remove or change material layers from the surface of the workpiece [1][2][3]. This is accomplished by the processes of ablation, vaporisation, or melting as shown in figure 1.…”

Laser Beam Machining (LBM) has several applications in the aerospace, medical, and automobile domains. Optimization techniques are essential for LBM to increase resource-efficiency and sustainability of the system. The present paper aims to provide a systematic review of the research in the domain of optimization techniques for LBM. A total of 228 research papers published during the last 20 years, from 2003 to 2023, are reviewed. The literature review is classified into three major sections- (i) optimization techniques, (ii) applications of optimization techniques, and (iii) challenges and future directions. The novelty of the present systematic review paper is to provide a direction for future research in the domain of optimization techniques of LBM. As a result of the suggested research, an efficient and sustainable LBM with the required performance will be developed in the shortest possible time.

“…As a non‐contact processing approach, laser processing offers the advantages of no cutting force, high production efficiency, and reliable quality. Among the different types of lasers, femtosecond laser was proven particularly effective in processing CFRP, due to its ultra‐short pulse width, high peak power, and minimal collateral damage 11–13 . It has been widely known that femtosecond laser processing of CFRP not only improves the material removal efficiency, but also significantly reduces the heat‐affected zone 14,15 .…”

Focusing on the femtosecond laser processing of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), the ablation threshold is of great concern to fulfill the manufacturing of specified functional surfaces and devices. The ablation thresholds and incubation coefficients of resin matrix and carbon fiber in CFRP subject to femtosecond laser irradiation are investigated from the measurement theories of ablation area diameter and ablation rate. The ablation thresholds

“…Fiber-reinforced composites (FRC) have been widely used in various industrial fields, such as aerospace, marine, and sporting goods, thanks to their excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance, super strength, high toughness and light-weight properties [1]. FRC is commonly fabricated by overlapping a certain number of fiber prepreg sheets on the mold with regularly alternating orientations layer-by-layer, as shown in Figure 1.…”

Fiber-reinforced composites (FRC) are widely used in various fields due to their excellent mechanical properties. The mechanical properties of FRC are significantly governed by the orientation of fibers in the composite. Automated visual inspection is the most promising method in measuring fiber orientation, which utilizes image processing algorithms to analyze the texture images of FRC. The deep Hough Transform (DHT) is a powerful image processing method for automated visual inspection, as the “line-like” structures of the fiber texture in FRC can be efficiently detected. However, the DHT still suffers from sensitivity to background anomalies and longline segments anomalies, which leads to degraded performance of fiber orientation measurement. To reduce the sensitivity to background anomalies and longline segments anomalies, we introduce the deep Hough normalization. It normalizes the accumulated votes in the deep Hough space by the length of the corresponding line segment, making it easier for DHT to detect short, true “line-like” structures. To reduce the sensitivity to background anomalies, we design an attention-based deep Hough network (DHN) that integrates attention network and Hough network. The network effectively eliminates background anomalies, identifies important fiber regions, and detects their orientations in FRC images. To better investigate the fiber orientation measurement methods of FRC in real-world scenarios with various types of anomalies, three datasets have been established and our proposed method has been evaluated extensively on them. The experimental results and analysis prove that the proposed methods achieve the competitive performance against the state-of-the-art in F-measure, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE).
