Simulation of Inhomogeneous Refractive Index Fields Induced by Hot Tailored Forming Components
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This article presents a simulation model for simulating inhomogeneous refractive index fields (IRIF) in hot‐forged components, accounting for thermal influences and complex geometries. Through this simulation, a priori knowledge about the propagation of the IRIF can be obtained, allowing for the positioning of the component or an optical measurement ...
