Abstract
Based on the FEM code ABAQUS and MSC.Fatigue, the process of LSP before hole-drilling was adopted to study the residual stress field of aluminum alloy7050T7451 with Fastener Holes after Laser shock processing (LSP), and the fatigue life of the specimens by LSP was analyzed in this paper. The results indicate that multiple laser shock processing can improve the residual compressive stress and fatigue life to a certain degree, and with the increasing number of shot, the strengthening effect gradually decreases. The ratio of the fatigue life of specimens treated by LSP to the fatigue life of untreated specimens is gradually decreased as the mean stress σm increases, and when the σm is 67.3MPa, the fatigue life of specimens treated by LSP advances 719%, compared with that of untreated specimens.
