Abstract:  
A system of monitoring and regulating the shot-peening intensity of a nozzle-type peening machine has been designed. The over-all aim is a machine capable of producing a required change in surface finish and strength by measuring both the kinetic energy of the shot-peening material and the peening time. Two measuring systems are outlined and detailed results are presented for the lower-cost system. Descriptors: Shot peening; Monitoring; Nozzles; Measurement; Computer programs
