Which destructive outcome predominates when pulsed-laser generated shockwaves intersect with a metallic micro-structure?

💡 Explanation

Material ablation occurs, because the superposition of waves leads to enhanced energy density during constructive interference, exceeding the yield strength; therefore, material ablation occurs during laser pulsing, rather than simple oscillatory resonance from mechanical excitation.
