The aim was to analyse distribution rule of residual stress fields in a TC6 titanium alloy blade with multiple impacts and different spot overlapping ratios by comparing the numerical simulation and laser shock processing (LSP) experiments results. A dynamic model based on the finite element method was presented to simulate multiple impacts and different spot overlapping ratios by single sided LSP with round laser spot, and the distribution rule of residual stress fields based on different process condition was described. Further, LSP experiments of multiple impacts and different spot overlapping ratios were executed to compare the simulation results by measuring and fractographic observation. The results indicated that simulated values were reasonable with experimental values, and the compressive residual stresses were greatly increased and driven deeper below the blade surface with multiple impacts and high spot overlapping ratios on the same spot.
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.
