On the Generation of Stress and Deformation in Elastic Solids by High Powered Lasers

The various mechanisms by which stresses may be generated in an elastic solid by the absorption of laser energy are reviewed. Through the use of simplification and idealizations, analyses of the stresses generated by each mechanism are developed and discussed. The role of the mechanical boundary conditions on the stresses generated is given particular attention. In each case, emphasis is given to the prediction of failure times. (Author)
