A novel numerical modeling approach capable of computing and simulating the Flap Shot Peening (FSP) dynamic process of industrial interest was proposed by the coupling of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM). During the process of shots impacting the metallic target, the shot flow and the target were respectively modeled by DEM and FEM, and the interaction between the shots and structure was efficiently evaluated by DEM-FEM. This approach can be employed to rationally control and regulate the FSP multiple parameters, which would induce an appropriate distribution of Compressive Residual Stress (CRS) within the target to provide additional resistance to the treated component. In this paper, a benchmark was first performed to verify the computational method successfully. Further, the influence of variant mass flow rates on the target was also investigated. The result shows that low mass flow rates can be replaced by a higher mass flow rate in case both were able to generate a similar shot effect.

“…Going beyond purely theoretical investigations, impact analysis has been applied to tests on scaled models of casks, for shipping radioactive waste [256] or spent fuel elements [257]. Scaled models are useful in the automotive field, too [2,[258][259][260].…”

Similitude theory allows engineers, through a set of tools known as similitude methods, to establish the necessary conditions to design a scaled (up or down) model of a full-scale prototype structure. In recent years, to overcome the obstacles associated with full-scale testing, such as cost and setup, research on similitude methods has grown and their application has expanded into many branches of engineering. The aim of this paper is to provide as comprehensive a review as possible about similitude methods applied to structural engineering and their limitations due to size effects, rate sensitivity phenomena, etc. After a brief historical introduction and a more in-depth analysis of the main methods, the paper focuses on similitude applications classified, first, by test article, then by engineering fields.
