The effects of varying shot peening process parameters on drag force signatures are examined. The salient features of such signatures are found to compare favorably with those expected from consideration of the effects of peening on magnetic properties combined with analysis of the actual force sources. The potential utility of the drag force method for automatic assessment of peening quality and uniformity is encouraged by experimental results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
