The Finite Element Analysis for Shot Peening Process of 20 Balls

Abstract

Shot peening process is one of the widely adopted surfaces strengthening technology in the factory. It has some advantages and disadvantages compared with other processes (casting, welding, stamping, etc.). For example the advantages of the shot peening process: the process has the simple equipment, low cost of doing, not restricted by the shape and location of the parts, easy operation, etc. And the disadvantage is the poor operation condition ([1], [2], [3]).  Index Terms-Shot peening process, Finite element analysis, Python script, Residual stress, Random impact model 9
