Abstract
Improving fatigue strength by shot-peening, first of all, it is essential to understand the phenomenon of fatigue fracture. Unfortunately, in these days, there are still
serious accidents caused by fatigue fracture. This would be due to both the difficulties of finding small defects causing fatigue fracture and the incomplete quantitative
understanding of a notch sensitivity determined by hardness and stress ratio (including residual stress). In addition, the relation between processing conditions for
shot-peening, residual stress and surface roughness is not always clear. However, by applying the theoretical approach of fracture mechanics, it has become possible to have
clearer understanding of the residual stress distributions and the dimension of surface defect quantitatively for improving fatigue strength. In this paper, the relations
between residual stress distributions by shot-peening and fatigue strength is discussed quantitatively.
Keywords: fatigue, notch sensitivity, hardness, defect, shot-peening, residual stress
