Dear Jack,
I read the abstract of your paper (with Bailey) on the effect of shot peening
parameters (intensity, dimple depth etc.) on fatigue life enhancement and
thought it would be a good idea to talk you directly on that subject.
We are interested in having our gear surface as smooth as possible and therefore, would like to know the dimple depth on carburized steel(HRC58-62) shot peened to 0006A - 0.010A intensity level. We can measure them, but we would like to know if these depths could be calculated from the modeling work. We know a lot of fundamental modeling work relating various shot peening parameters (dimple depth, stress level, material hardness, young Modulus) to shot peening intensity was done at the Cambridge University in England, Is there any such attempts in this country? If a model exists we would like to know about them.
Many thanks for your time. TKM.
