Laser shock peening [electronic resource] : performance and process simulations / edited by K. Ding, and L. Ye.

Laser shock peening (LSP) is a relatively new surface treatment for metallic materials. LSP is a process to induce compressive residual stresses using shock waves generated by laser pulses. LSP can greatly improve the resistance of a material to crack initiation and propagation brought on by cyclic...
