This article reports selected findings from a collaborative research study into the fundamental understanding of laser shock peening (LSP), when applied to key airframe and aero-engine alloys. The analyses developed include explicit simulations of the peening process together with a simpler eigenstrain approach, which may be used to provide an approximation to the residual stress field in a number of geometries. These are chosen to represent parts of structural components under conditions relevant to service applications. The article shows that the eigenstrain approach can provide good approximations to the stress field in most circumstances and may provide a computationally efficient tool for exploring different peening strategies. Both explicit and eigenstrain results demonstrate that the interaction between the LSP process and geometric features is important for understanding the subsequent performance of components. Particularly relevant for engineering applications is that not all instances of LSP application may provide an improvement in structural integrity.
