A theoretical model has been developed to explain the variation of surface residual stress introduced by shot-peening with external plastic deformation, during a uniaxial tensile test. The model is based on the difference of yield stress values of the shot-peened surface layer and the remaining bulk material. It has been shown that the model fits well with experimental results obtained for the base metal and heat-affected zone of a 5.0Cr-0.5Mo steel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
