A Mechanism for Inducing Compressive Residual Stresses on a Surface by Laser Peening without Coating

Laser peening without coating (LPwC) involves irradiating materials covered with water with intense laser pulses to induce compressive residual stress (RS) on a surface. This results in favorable effects, such as fatigue enhancement; however, the mechanism underlying formation of the compressive RS...
