Laser shock peening (LSP) is widely used in manufacturing industry due to its contribution to
the improvement of mechanical performance for metallic components. In practical …

As most of the failures in engineering components initiate from the surface layer, applying
surface treatments can play a crucial role in controlling material performance and lifetime. In …

This study investigates and compares the effects of different shot peening treatments
including conventional and severe shot peening on microstructure, mechanical properties …

Friction stir welding (FSW) is now widely used in industrial manufacturing fields to join metal
materials. Although it avoids solidification cracking, the combination of thermal excursion …

To address the difficulty in testing and calibrating the stress gradient in the depth direction of
mechanical components, a new technology of nondestructive testing and characterization of …

This paper presents experimental and numerical investigations to determine the surface and
through-thickness welding residual stresses and their relaxation in butt-welded plates under …

This paper investigates the effect of cyclic loading on the stability of compressive residual
stress fields induced by high frequency mechanical impact (HFMI) post-weld treatment. First …

In this paper, the relaxation of weld residual stress in a 316L stainless steel weld joint under
cyclic loading was researched by experimental and finite element method (FEM). Initially …

This paper is aimed at evaluating the residual stress relaxation and its effect on the fatigue
strength of AISI 316L steel ground surfaces in comparison to electro-polished surfaces. An …

Shot-peening-induced compressive residual stresses are often introduced in Ni-base
superalloy components to help prevent or retard surface fatigue crack initiation and early …
