Introduction In shot peening, compressive residual stresses are induced through impact events between media and the surface of a component. When designing a shot peening
Existing Challenges Although the degree of coverage in shot peening has a significant influence on the resilience of a surface, coverage assessment still faces a
Characterizing and controlling particle size and shape distributions of shot media are fundamental to ensuring the success of the peening process. A combination of material
Introduction Residual stresses, those present in a material in the absence of load or changes in the temperature, can be related to the microstructure of
