    Abstract Fatigue life of components may be enhanced by mechanical surface treatments, such as shot penning, which induce compressive residual stresses in the component's surface. Under cyclic/fatigue loads, however, relaxation of the residual stress may occur thus, reducing the optimum benefit of the surface treatment. For health monitoring / life prediction under such conditions it is important to be able to assess stress relaxation in real-time. However, the phenomenon of cyclic relaxation of residual stress is not well understood and its tracking during component operation is a technical challenge. By means of cyclic plastic deformation model More >
