... to “actively” induce compressive thermoelastic stresses to control fracture of a cantilevered plate was developed with guidance from numerical simulations. Simulations of the active-stressing approach were achieved by using a customized finite-element formulation that was previously employed to model dual-beam...

... , respectively. Fully reversed cantilever bending fatigue behaviors of medium carbon steel in both under peened and unpeened conditions were evaluated at room temperature. Oil jet-peened specimens exhibited superior fatigue performance compared to the unpeened specimens. Fractographical analyses were carried out...

...) such fractures. In this paper, the possibility of using a tailored laser-heating scenario ahead of a progressing cut to “actively” induce compressive thermal stresses to control fracture of a cantilevered plate was numerically investigated. A simulation of this active-stressing approach was achieved by using...
