The present study utilizes the generalized thermoelasticity theory, with one thermal relaxation time (TR), to examine the thermoelastic problem of a functionally graded thin slim strip (TSS). The authors heated the plane surface bounding using a non-Gaussian laser beam with a pulse length of 2 ps. The material characteristics varied continually based on exponential functions. Moreover, the equations governing the generalized thermoelasticity for a functionally graded material (FGM) are recognized. The problem’s ideal solution was primarily obtained in the Laplace transform (LT) space. The LTs were converted numerically because of the considerable importance of the response in the transient state. For a hypothetical substance, the numerical procedures calculating the displacement, stress, temperature and strain were given. The analogous problem solution to an isotropic homogeneous material was provided by defining the parameter of non-homogeneity adequately. The obtained results were displayed using graphs to illustrate the extent to which non-homogeneity affected displacement, stress, temperature and strain. A comparison was been made between the present study and those previously obtained by others, when the new parameters vanish to show the impact of the non-homogeneity, TSS and laser parameters on the phenomenon. The results obtained indicate a significant strong impact of FGM, TSS and laser parameters.

An analytical solution is presented to the heat equation in the vicinity of a surface fluid, heated by a modulated Gaussian Laser beam and taking into account three heat transfer modes: conduction, radiation and convection. A new calculation method is performed for profiling temperature inside a surface fluid. Comparison with several experimental profiles explains some unexpected temperature profile results as non-Gaussian behaviour.

AbstractIn a recent experimental study, the beam intensity profile of the Vulcan petawatt laser beam was measured; it was found that only 20% of the energy was contained within the full width at half maximum of 6.9 μm and 50% within 16 μm, suggesting a long-tailed non-Gaussian transverse beam profile. A q-Gaussian distribution function was suggested therein to reproduce this behavior. The spatial beam profile dynamics of a q-Gaussian laser beam propagating in relativistic plasma is investigated in this article. A non-paraxial theory is employed, taking into account nonlinearity via the relativistic decrease of the plasma frequency. We have studied analytically and numerically the dynamics of a relativistically guided beam and its dependence on the q-parameter. Numerical simulation results are shown to trace the dependence of the focusing length on the q-Gaussian profile.
