摘要： Laser shock peening is a mechanical surface improvement treatment used to enhance the fatigue life of critical components. This paper investigates the influence of multiple square laser impacts to study their special effect on the diverse mechanical behaviours of the thin leading edge surface of turbine blades. Most works existing in the literature have presented experimental investigations. The originality of our paper is to validate and numerically simulate the proposed model. Indeed, a 3D finite element method of a thin leading edge specimen, Ti–6Al–4V, of a turbine blade is numerically simulated using the ABAQUS software. The mechanical surface modifications (residual stresses, equivalent plastic strains and Johnson–Cook superficial damage) induced by the multiple square laser impact are examined in detail. The main purpose of this investigation is to determine the effects of single-sided and double-sided laser shock peening.
