This chapter presents two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) dynamic finite element (FE) simulations for the residual stress distribution induced by single and multiple LSP on the curved ...

Over time, these stresses can create microscopic cracks in the blades which can lead to issues in service. The traditional method for stopping cracks is ‘shot-peening’, ie firing shot (round metallic, ...

This chapter presents a two-dimensional (2D) dynamic finite element simulation of single and multiple laser shock peening (LSP) on a metallic alloy using the procedure discussed in Chapter 3. The ...
