Abstract

This project concerns the development of a computer model to describe the phenomenon of multiple collisions of steel spherical shots in a peen forming jet blast applied to aluminum plates. This model will be used to estimate the shot speed probability distribution function and, as a consequence, the average impact speed of the shots and the plate.(AU)
