Dear Dr Peener,

The goal of shot peening is obtaining compressive residual stresses that give benefit on fatigue life .
The presence of shear stresses is detrimental for fatigue resistance. How can I reduce tre presence or the value of shear stresses ?
Are there some shot peening process techniques in order to reduce shear stresses value? ( for example angle of impact of shot against the surface or other ?)


Thanking in advance for your answer
