Abstract:
INTRODUCTION
For both peeners and customers, coverage is of vital importance. Our central problem is to be able to predict and control coverage so as to
reach a specified level. It is not sufficient, however, to reach the specified coverage at just one location. Different locations, subject to
greater amounts of peening, would then suffer excessive peening. An efficient, quantitative procedure for coverage prediction and control
should be applied at several locations leading, if required, to ‘coverage maps’ for components. Two basic problems can be associated with
coverage prediction and control:
1 Specifying and achieving a required level of coverage and
2 Specifying and achieving a required distribution of coverage.
This article concentrates on the first problem but includes the second as ‘coverage mapping’. The next article in this series concentrates on the second problem but utilizes
the procedures proposed to solve the first problem.
