Fatigue crack growth rate characteristics of laser shock peened Ti-6Al-4V
Article Abstract:
An examination and comparison of unprocessed material to the fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) characteristics of Laser Shock Peened (LSP) titanium 6Al-4V was done. Significantly greater FCGR resistance of LSP processed material tested at low stress ratios was recorded compared to unprocessed baseline material. The large residual compressive stresses generated by the LSP process were a contributory factor for the increased damage tolerance.

A new approach for single crystal materials analysis: Theory and application to initial yielding
Article Abstract:
A new approach used for single crystal (SC) materials based on the extension of predictive models for isotropic materials to anisotropic materials such as SC nickel base superalloys is described. The development of the theory and its applications to the determination of initial yielding and tension-compression asymmetry are presented.
