Abstract: Laser (shock) peening has been used to enhance the fatigue life of metallic components since the 1990s, and numerical simulations of the process have been investigated since the early 2000s. Despite sustained research efforts, the feasibility of truly predictive simulations of laser shock peening remains an open question. In this contribution, we analyze the key physical and numerical challenges that limit the predictive capability of current simulation approaches. Based on this analysis, we discuss the principal sources of uncertainty and outline possible directions for future developments toward reliable, simulation-based process design.
