Abstract
In dealing with shot-peening simulation, existing literatures adopt finite element method (FEM), which establishes models of a single shot or several shots only, thus the effect of a large number of shots repeat impacting and the influence among adjacent shots are ignored. To overcome these disadvantages of FEM models, smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH)-coupled FEM modeling is presented, in which the shots are modeled by SPH particles and the target material is modeled by finite elements. The two parts interact through contact algorithm to simulate a number of shots impinging the target. Utilizing this model, a material model for shots is established, the relationships between compressive residual stress and peening frequencies, coverage, and velocities are analyzed. Steady compressive residual stress can be obtained by multiple peening; higher coverage can improve the compressive residual stress; faster velocities can induce greater and deeper maximum residual stress in target subsurface. The simulation results agree well with the existing experimental data. The study would not only provide a new powerful tool for the simulation of shot-peening process, but also be benefit to optimize the operating parameters.
