The papers presented in this volume address a variety of topics that further establish controlled shot peening as an important manufacturing process capable of reproducible results. Topics discussed include shot peening and fatigue, measurement of residual stresses, control of shot peening process, shot peening technology, and applications. Papers are presented on the influence of shot peening on material properties and the controlled shot peening of turbine blades; shot blasting systems; and application of rotary peening in aircraft maintenance.
