(English) Zbl 1189.74034 Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer 49, No. 15-16, 2712-2723 (2006). Summary: Ultrashort-pulsed lasers have been attracting worldwide interest in science and engineering. Studying the thermal deformation induced by ultrashort-pulsed lasers is important for preventing thermal damage. This article presents a finite difference method for studying thermal deformation in a thin film exposed to ultrashort-pulsed lasers. The method is obtained based on the parabolic two-step model. It accounts for the coupling effect between lattice temperature and strain rate, as well as for the hot-electron-blast effect in momentum transfer. The method allows us to avoid non-physical oscillations in the solution as demonstrated by numerical examples.
