Residual stress and fatigue crack growth life prediction in fastener holes cold-worked by uniform indentation in 2024-T351 aluminium alloy

This thesis concerns primarily the residual stress characterisation in fastener holes cold worked by a novel StressWave process, and the prediction of the fatigue crack growth under the influence of such residual stress. Aerospace 2024-T351 aluminium alloy plate of 6.35mm thickness containing a nomi...
