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 …

A number of surface modification processes have been developed over the past decades.
Depending on the application in industry, different processes are selected to meet the …

Detrimental subsurface tensile residual stresses occur in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF)
due to significant temperature gradients during the process. Besides heat treatments, laser …

The relationship between residual stress and microstructure evolution during laser shock
peening (LSP) of Ti-6Al-4V was investigated. To this end, the program material was …

This paper addresses the identification of Johnson-Cook material model parameters for the
simulation of high strain rate processes such as laser shock peening. A combined numerical …

Laser shock peening (LSP) is successfully applied to retard fatigue cracks in metallic
lightweight structures by introducing specific, in particular compressive, residual stress …

The compressive residual stresses and grain refinement induced by laser shock peening
(LSP) are two very important surface strengthening mechanisms that are responsible for the …

The effects of residual stress on mixed-mode crack propagation behavior of 7075-T6
aluminum alloy panel subject to multiple laser shock peening (LSP) impacts were …

For the fatigue life of thin-walled components, not only fatigue crack initiation, but also crack
growth is decisive. The phase-field method for fracture is a powerful tool to simulate arbitrary …

The present study aims to investigate the extent to which the fatigue behaviour of laser beam‐
welded AA6056‐T6 butt joints with an already existing crack can be improved through the …
