Effects of surfaces nanocrystallization induced by shot peening on material properties : a Review
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
A brief description of surface nanosrystallization process via severe plastic deformation is presented. To come to the point different shot peening methods which have proved to be able to create nanocrystalline layers are demonstrated clarifying the actual state of the art. Then the influence of the process is reviewed on material behavior and a wide range of affected properties are investigated. On this basis some possible addresses for future research in this field are drawn and underlined.

Plastic zone evolution near a crack tip and its role in environmentally assisted cracking
This paper analyzes the effects of crack tip plastic strains and compressive residual stresses, created by fatigue pre-cracking, on environmentally assisted cracking of pearlitic steel subjected to localized anodic...
Fracture-Safe and Fatigue-Reliable Structures
Learning from history is, by popular account, something at which human beings are not particularly good; George Bernard Shaw having stated that “we learn from history that we learn nothing from history”, while th...
Robust design of a polygonal shaft-hub coupling
In this work, the Taguchi method is applied for the optimal choice of design parameter values for a polygonal shaft-hub coupling. The objective is to maximize a performance function, minimizing, at the same time,...
FEM simulation of a crack propagation in a round bar under combined tension and torsion fatigue loading
An edge crack propagation in a steel bar of circular cross-section undergoing multiaxial fatigue loads is simulated by Finite Element Method (FEM). The variation of crack growth behaviour is studied under axial a...
Applications of lattice method in the simulation of crack path in heterogeneous materials
The simulation of critical and subcritical crack propagation in heterogeneous materials is not a simple problem in computational mechanics. These topics can be studied with different theoretical tools. In the crac...
