Laser forming involves heating sheet metal workpiece along a certain path with adefocused laser beam directed irradiate to the surface. During laser forming, a tran-sient temperature fields is caused by the irradiation and travelling of a laser beam.Consequently, thermal expansion and contraction take place, and allows the thermal-mechanical forming of complex shapes. This is a new manufacturing technique thatforming metal sheet only by thermal stress. Therefore, the analysis of temperaturefields and stress fields are very useful for studying the forming mechanism and con-trolling the accuracy of laser forming. The non--liner finite element solver, MARC, isemployed to solve the thermal--mechanical analysis. Using this model, the stress andstrain distribution of pure aluminum plate with different thickness are analyzed. Theinfluence of scanning speed on temperature fields and plastic strain of metal sheet un-der the condition of constant line energy are also presented. Numerical results agreewell with th
