About
Martin Lueck is a leading researcher in the field of laser-materials interactions, with a primary focus on the vulnerability and decomposition of advanced composite structures under high-energy laser (HEL) irradiation. His work is pivotal to understanding the failure mechanisms of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP)—materials prized for their high specific strength and fatigue resistance in aerospace applications—when subjected to extreme thermal and mechanical loads. Lueck’s most cited study, “Laser-Induced Decomposition and Mechanical Degradation of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Subjected to a High-Energy Laser with Continuous Wave Power up to 120 kW” (2024, 4 citations), provides critical experimental data on how CFRP composites behave under laser powers reaching 120 kW, revealing key thresholds for structural compromise. His subsequent work, “Decomposition and vulnerability of CFRP under laser impact with powers of up to 120 kW” (2024, 2 citations), directly addresses the pressing defense challenge of neutralizing drone and UAV threats with precision HEL systems, offering insights into minimizing collateral damage. By bridging materials science with countermeasure technology, Lueck’s research has immediate implications for both aerospace engineering and national security, establishing him as a key contributor to the development of next-generation laser-based defense systems.
