Abstract
The aim of the paper is to investigate the influence of compressive residual stresses on the fatigue initiation life (S-Nini) curve of AISI 1141 steel. The analysis has been performed by means of a micro-structurally-based fatigue crack initiation modelling approach. The focus is set on the local (surface) residual stresses typically imposed by a surface treatment technique known as shot -peening. By superimposing such stresses on stresses resulting from outer cyclic loading, it could be shown that an impact on the fatigue curve in the S-Nini diagram can be achieved.
