New advances for laser adhesion test (lasat): From thick to thin coatings

This paper present recent developments in LAser Adhesion Test. This technique sollicitates material interfaces with laser driven shock wave. Results show the ability of the technique to do a quantitative adhesion test for wide range of material and configuration. Edge effect principle and ultra-short shock wave give perspectives for new applications for thick and thin coatings. Fundamental principles are evidenced through experiments on bulk ductile materials before demonstrating their application to coated systems.This paper present recent developments in LAser Adhesion Test.
