Abstract

Finite element method (FEM) has been proved to be powerful in studying the process of shot peening (SP). The random representative cell model is frequently utilized to simulate the SP process more realistically. In order to investigate the sensitivity of the random representative cell models to the finite element simulation results of the SP-induced stress field, Almen arc height, and surface roughness, the three-dimensional random representative cell model was developed to simulate the process of SP of Almen strip, and the SP-induced stress field and surface roughness were analyzed resultantly. A novel numerical calculation framework linking the random representative cell model with the finite element model of the whole Almen strip was further proposed to calculate the SP-induced Almen arc height, and the numerical prediction results of the Almen intensities are in good agreement with the experimental data with regard to the shot velocities of 30 m/s, 50 m/s, and 100 m/s. The effects of the shot velocity and SP coverage on the sensitivity of the random representative cell models to the simulation results of SP were accordingly discussed comprehensively and systematically.
