Finite Element Modeling of Crack Generation in Laser Shock Peening Processed Airfoils

Laser shock peening (LSP) is a surface treatment process for airfoils that is achieved by the induction of compressive stress. While LSP is a mature and reliable surface treatment process, slight anomalies during the process, or variations in material ductility and geometries, may cause unintended f...
