This study compares the residual stresses formed on samples before Laser Shock Peening (LSP) and after mechanical relaxation of LSP. Sample material used in the analysis is Aluminum Alloy of grade 6061 with no prior heat treatments done. Experimental results on surface residual stresses were measure...
