Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Residual Stresses in low pulsed Laser Shock Peening on AA7075 T651

Surface Finish and Residual Stresses Induced by Orthogonal Dry Machining of AA7075-T651

The surface finish was extensively studied in usual machining processes (turning, milling, and drilling). For these processes, the surface finish is strongly influenced by the cutting feed and the tool nose radius. However, a basic understanding of tool/surface finish interaction and residual stress generation has been lacking. This paper aims to investigate the surface finish and residual stre...

Investigation into heat treatment and residual stress in laser clad AA7075 powder on AA7075 substrate

The laser cladding of AA7075 powder onto a AA7075 substrate was conducted to evaluate the effect of heat treatment and measure residual stress between the clad layer and substrate in order to better understand the effect of laser cladding. The microstructure formed in the clad region was characteristic of a high cooling rate, which is typical for laser cladding. The heat affected zone showed co...

Effects of simulation parameters on residual stresses for laser shock peening finite element analysis

By using finite element analysis, we proposed an applicable finite element method of laser shock peening (LSP) and discussed various parameters, such as solution time, stability limit, dynamic yield stress, peak pressure, pressure pulse duration, laser spot size, and multiple LSP. The effects of parameters related to the finite element simulation of the LSP process on the residual stresses of 3...

Numerical modelling and experimental investigation on welding residual stresses in largescale tubular Kjoints

EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION ON LASER BENDING PROCESS

Laser bending is an advanced process in sheet metal forming in which a laser heat source is used to shape the metal sheet. In this paper, temperature distribution in a mild steel sheet metal is investigated numerically and experimentally. Laser heat source is applied through curved paths in square sheet metal parts. Finite element (FE) simulation is performed with the ABAQUS/CAE standard softwa...
