Abstract

Stress intensity factor has been a favorite tool in fracture mechanics due to its simplicity. Here, it is used to study the influence of the shot peening application in fatigue life improvement. Using a CT-specimen, the study of shot peening effect on fatigue life was performed. Here, the compressive residual stress is converted into residual stress intensity factor, Kres.. Together with the applied stress intensity factor, Kapl., the superposition principle can be used. The result of the investigation clarifies quantitatively what has been widely believed that one of the easiest ways to improve fatigue life is by perfecting the surface via shot peening. Compressive stresses are beneficial not only in postponing fatigue crack initiation but also in preventing the crack propagation, which lead to increasing fatigue strength.
