Abstract:
The relationship between Dr. David Kirk and
Jack Champaigne (Editor of The Shot Peener magazine) began
in 1993 when they met at the 5th International Conference on
Shot Peening in Oxford, United Kingdom. Dr. Kirk organized
the conference and edited the Proceedings. He was Chairman
of the School of Materials at Coventry University in Coventry,
United Kingdom at the time.
Mr. Champaigne was so impressed by Dr. Kirk’s knowledge
of the shot peening process that he asked him to write for The
Shot Peener. It wasn’t until Dr. Kirk retired in 1998 and after
he contributed to seven research papers and an article on shot
peening for Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology
that he committed to the undertaking. His first article titled
“Image Analysis and Computer Microscopy of Shot Particlesâ€
was featured in the Summer 2001 magazine.
