Laser shock peening (LSP) is an innovative surface treatment technique similar to shot peening. An analytical model to predict the residual stress field can obtain the impact effect much quickly, and will be invaluable in enabling a close-loop process control in production, saving time and cost of processing. A complete analytical model of LSP with some reasonable simplification is proposed to predict residual stresses in depth by a sequential application of a confined plasma development model and a residual stress model. The spatial distribution of the shock pressure and the high strain rate effect are considered in the model. Good agreements have been shown with several experimental measured results for various laser conditions and target materials, thus proving the validity of the proposed model.

Laser shock peening (LSP) is a surface treatment technique similar to conventional shot peening. The laser induced plasma causes plastic deformations and compressive residual stresses that are useful for developing improved properties in the fields of resistance to fatigue, wear or stress corrosion cracking. The actual distribution of residual stresses is extremely important while designing for improved fatigue life using laser shock peening, as fatigue cracks would initiate from the weakest point in the structure. In this paper, the variations in distribution of residual stresses due to laser shock peening are studied with a focus on two materials, annealed 1053 and hardened 52100 AISI steels. A 3D finite element model was developed to study the actual distributions of the residual stresses due to laser shock peening. The effect of hardness on the distribution of the residual stresses and the presence of tensile residual stresses in the surrounding regions of the impact is analyzed. Much larger variations in the residual stress distributions were observed in case of the 1053 steel as compared to hardened 52100 steel. A comprehensive analysis of the simulation results was performed in order to address and explain this behavior. It was observed that the extent of overlap would also affect the variations in the residual stress distributions. The tensile residual stresses present in the areas surrounding the shocked region were also analyzed based upon the extent of overlap and the hardness of the material. It was observed that the ratio of peak tensile to compressive residual stresses developed in 1053 steel was much higher as compared to that in the hardened 52100 steel.

Laser shock peening (LSP) was employed to squeeze compressive residual stress (CRS) into the curved surface of the round rod with diameter of 16[Formula: see text]mm. The residual stress field was induced by nine laser shots irradiating at different locations along the specified path. The developing process of the residual stress field was investigated with finite element analysis, and the corresponding experiments were also carried out to validate the calculated results. Results demonstrate that multiple LSP with 50% overlapping rate can result in residual stress field with the maximum CRS varying from 155.2[Formula: see text]MPa to 198.8[Formula: see text]MPa along the direction of the rod axis. The peened surface appears wavy in shape and the maximum depth of plastic deformation in the curved surface is 13.41[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m. The value of surface roughness increases from 3.87[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m to 4.65[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m.

This article reports selected findings from a collaborative research study into the fundamental understanding of laser shock peening (LSP), when applied to key airframe and aero-engine alloys. The analyses developed include explicit simulations of the peening process together with a simpler eigenstrain approach, which may be used to provide an approximation to the residual stress field in a number of geometries. These are chosen to represent parts of structural components under conditions relevant to service applications. The article shows that the eigenstrain approach can provide good approximations to the stress field in most circumstances and may provide a computationally efficient tool for exploring different peening strategies. Both explicit and eigenstrain results demonstrate that the interaction between the LSP process and geometric features is important for understanding the subsequent performance of components. Particularly relevant for engineering applications is that not all instances of LSP application may provide an improvement in structural integrity.

Laser shock peening (LSP) is an innovative surface treatment technique successfully applied to improving fatigue performance of metallic material. The specific characteristic of (LSP) is the generation of a low work-hardening and a deep compressive residual stresses mechanically produced by a laser-induced shock wave propagating in the material. The aim of this study is to analyse the residual stress distribution induced by laser peening in 2050-T8 aluminium alloy experimentally by the X-ray diffraction technique (method sin2Y) and numerically, by a finite element numerical modelling. A specific focus was put on the residual stress distribution along the surface of the impacted material.

Laser shock processing (LSP) is an innovative surface treatment technique. According to the theory of residual stress field formation by laser shock wave, laser overlapping shock processing of LY12CZ aluminium alloy was analyzed. The diagonal shock process is simulated by FEM using LS-DYNA codes, and the residual stress field in different angle of fall and pressure are predicted. The results indicate that the value of residual tension stress can be increased when diagonal shock, and the value of residual compressive stress will be decreased. The simulated results can provide the basis for experimental studying the diagonal laser shock processing and laser facular overlap.

Laser shock peening (LSP) is a surface modification technique to improve the mechanical properties of metals and alloys, where physical phenomena are difficult to investigate, due to short time scales and extreme physical values. In this regard, simulations can significantly contribute to understand the underlying physics. In this paper, a coupled simulation approach for LSP is presented. A global model of laser–matter–plasma interaction is applied to determine the plasma pressure, which is used as surface loading in finite element (FE) simulations in order to predict residual stress (RS) profiles in the target material. The coupled model is applied to the LSP of AA2198-T3 with water confinement, 3×3mm2 square focus and 20 ns laser pulse duration. This investigation considers the variation in laser pulse energy (3 J and 5 J) and different protective coatings (none, aluminum and steel foil). A sensitivity analysis is conducted to evaluate the impact of parameter inaccuracies of the global model on the resulting RS. Adjustment of the global model to different laser pulse energies and coating materials allows us to compute the temporal pressure distributions to predict RS with FE simulations, which are in good agreement with the measurements.
