Abstract
Shot peening strongly increases the notch fatigue strength of metallic components. This benefit is mainly attributed to compressive residual stresses. In this paper, we address this topic by performing bending fatigue tests on Al-7075-T651 samples carrying notches with different severity. Fatigue lives between 105 and 108 cycles have been explored. The residual stress field ahead of the notch has been characterized by experimental measurements and numerical reconstruction and incorporated into the Crossland fatigue criterion combined with critical distance theory method to predict the fatigue resistance.
