Development of Maximum Residual Stress Prediction Technique for Shot-Peened Specimen Using Rayleigh Wave Dispersion Data Based on Convolutional Neural Network.

Shot peening is a surface treatment process that improves the fatigue life of a material and suppresses cracks by generating residual stress on the surface. The injected small shots create a compressive residual stress layer on the material's surface. Maximum compressive residual stress occurs at a certain depth, and tensile residual stress gradually occurs as the depth increases.

Nondestructive Evaluation of Residual Stress in Shot Peened Inconel Using Ultrasonic Minimum Reflection Measurement.

Shot peening is a process wherein the surface of a material is impacted by small, spherical metal shots at high velocity to create residual stresses. Nickel-based superalloy is a material with high strength and hardness along with excellent corrosion and fatigue resistance, and it is therefore used in nuclear power plants and aerospace applications. The application of shot peening to INCONEL, a nickel-based superalloy, has been actively researched, and the measurement of residual stresses has been studied as well.

Determination of ultrasonic wave velocities and phase velocity dispersion curves of an Inconel 600 plate using resonant ultrasound spectroscopy and leaky Lamb waves.

A plate of Inconel 600 was interrogated using the resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) and the reflected leaky Lamb waves (LLW). It was found that the plate used in the present work has anisotropy in its material properties by the RUS. The longitudinal and the transverse wave velocities of the Inconel 600 plate were determined by the RUS, ultrasonic pulse-echo method and cut-off frequencies of the LLWs.

Assessment of material degradation due to corrosion-fatigue using a backscattered Rayleigh surface wave.

Material degradation due to corrosion-fatigue was evaluated nondestructively using backscattered Rayleigh surface wave. A corrosion-fatigue test was carried out for the specimens made of thermo-mechanically controlled process steel in 3.5 wt.
