β¦ Synopsis
The fatigue crack growth, incorporating effects of shot peening, is investigated using two-dimensional finite element analysis. The cohesive zone model, which takes into account the damage evolution under cyclic load, is adopted in the finite element analysis to simulate the potential fracture surfaces. The effects of shot peening on the fatigue crack growth and the relaxation of residual stress under cyclic load are studied. It is shown that the residual stress retards the fatigue crack propagation and the retardation effect depends not only on the shot peening intensity but also on the cyclic load amplitude. The residual stress relaxes nonlinearly as the load cycles increase.

Residual stresses have in the past been introduced to manipulate growth rates and shapes of cracks under cyclic loads. Previously, the effectiveness of shot peening in retarding the rate of fatigue crack growth was experimentally studied. It was shown that the compressive residual stresses arising f
This paper presents a numerical simulation of the shot peening process using finite element method. The majority of the controlling parameters of the process have been taken into account. The shot peening loading has been characterised by using energy equivalence between the dynamic impact and a sta
