Research abstract
The goal of this SBIR project is to develop an innovative surface treatment technique that fulfills the critical needs of enhancing fatigue resistance in hydraulic tubing by generating deep and stable compressive residual stresses at low cost. The proposed technique harnesses the basic phenomena of bubbles cavitation and collapse while avoids the difficulties that strangle current approaches. Additionally, the proposed technique may have the potential of high portability for in-field applications.
