Abstract:
A theory, in which the main influential changes induced by shot peening, the location of fatigue crack source and the fatigue properties of matrix metal are condisered
comprehensively, is proposed for evaluating the fatigue improvement of shot peened specimens. Two formulae are put forward to calculate the possible values of apparent
fatigue strength of thot peened speciments, by assuming the crack source is located either at the surface or in the subsurface region beneath the hardened surface layer.
The apparent fatigue strength is related to different series of factors if crack source is located at different position. An "internal fatigue strength" of matal (which is
about 35% higher that "surface fatigue strength" of the same metal) is used in the case when the crack initiates in the subsurface region.
