...Leonid A. Dombrovsky; Wojciech Lipinski Purpose The aim of this paper is to present advanced experimental–numerical methods for identification of spectral absorption and scattering properties of highly porous ceria ceramics in the range of semi-transparency at room and elevated temperatures...

...J.A. Thomazin; L.G. Olson; J.W. Hirsch In this paper, finite element techniques are used to model laser spot welding of both metallic and ceramic materials. The materials modelled were aluminum and alumina, a typical ceramic. In the formulation, the steady state mass, momentum, and energy...
