Laser Shock Peening : Fundamentals and Advances Hardback

This book highlights the fundamentals and latest progresses in the research and applications of laser shock peening (LSP).

As a novel technology for surface treatment, LSP greatly improves the resistance of metallic materials to fatigue and corrosion.

The book presents the mechanisms, techniques, and applications of LSP in a systematic way.

It discusses a series of new progresses in fatigue performance improvement of metal parts with LSP.

It also introduces lasers, equipment, and techniques of newly developed industry LSP, with a detailed description of the novel LSP blisk.

The book demonstrates in details numerical analysis and simulation techniques and illustrates process stability control, quality control, and analysis determination techniques.

It is a valuable reference for scientists, engineers, and students in the fields of laser science, materials science, astronautics, and aeronautics who seek to understand, develop, and optimize LSP processes.
