Abstract Laser controlled separation of brittle materials like glass is a promising non-conven\discretionary {-}{}{}tional cutting method. It is an application of the crack propagation driven by thermal stresses induced by laser irradiation. In order to induce and control a crack propagating accurately along predetermined asymmetric trajectory in a brittle plate, an iterative method for effective laser scanning path was presented, and the effect of control parameters on the convergence was investigated. The iterative formulation for laser scanning path was based on PID control theory, which was composed of deviation of the crack from predetermined trajectory and… More >
