The Mathematics of Thermal Modeling: An Introduction to the Theory of Laser Material Processing, 2e

The Mathematics of Thermal Modeling, Second Edition, provides an introduction to the basics of the mathematics and physics needed to understand and use the physical principles employed in constructing models of a number of aspects of thermal modeling in industrial processes, notably laser welding; most of the techniques are applicable to many other technological processes, however.

The book demonstrates how insight can be gained from mathematical enquiry at a simple level and helps workers u...
