Probabilistic sensitivity analysis of a laser peening fatigue life enhancement process

Gulshan Singh, Miguel Cortina, Harry Millwater, Allan Clauer

The purpose of this paper is to estimate probabilistic and regional importance sensitivities of fatigue life, with respect to the laser peening (LP) parameters applied to a…

Simulation‐based crack growth mitigation through optimum laser peened residual stress

Gulshan Singh, Juan Ocampo, Harry Millwater, Allan Clauer

The purpose of this paper is to develop an approach to optimize the cycles‐to‐failure of a peened component with respect to laser peening (LP) variables: pressure magnitude…

Application to plate components of a kinematic global‐local approach for non‐matching finite element meshes

A. Sellitto, R. Borrelli, F. Caputo, A. Riccio, F. Scaramuzzino

The purpose of this paper is to investigate and to assess the capabilities of the most common finite element (FE)‐based tools to deal with global‐local analysis. Two kinds of…

Effects of shot peening on the torsional fatigue limit of high‐strength steel containing an artificial surface defect

Koji Takahashi, Hideki Okada, Kotoji Ando

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the effects of shot peening (SP) on the torsional fatigue limit of high‐strength steel specimens containing an artificial small defect.

Recovery of oil‐pollutant from shipwrecks: DIFIS project

D.E. Mazarakos, F. Andritsos, V. Kostopoulos

The purpose of this paper is to describe a method for the prompt intervention and remediation of tanker wrecks, for recovering the fuel trapped in their tanks.
