Abstract

This paper presents a numerical simulation of the laser shock peening (LSP) process using the finite element method. The majority of controlling parameters of the LSP process have been taken into account. The LSP loading has been characterized by the use of a repetitive time Gaussian increment pressure applied uniformly at a circular impacted zone. The utilized model of the treated material behaviour law is the Johnson-Cook’s visco-elastic-plastic coupled with damage. The proposed model leads to determine the LSP surface modifications: (i) the in-depth residual stresses, (ii) the induced plastic strains and (iii) the superficial damage. These modifications can be significantly induced in few cases, particularly when the operating conditions are not well optimized. An application is carried out on the laser peened titanium aero-engine super alloy Ti-6Al-4V. A satisfactory correlation between the computed and experimental results is observed. Also, it is noted that the computed superficial damage values increase with the growth of the maximal peak pressure of the laser spot, which are physically consistent. Otherwise, in order to optimize the laser peening operating conditions, a design of experiments is established. It allows having surface-response relationships between the operating parameters and the three announced induced effects.
