Shock-wave induced compressive stress on alumina ceramics by laser peening

Laser shock peening (LSP) of Al2O3 advanced ceramics is reported, showing underpinned physical mechanisms and potential benefits. It is known that localised plastic deformation can be induced in ceramics in the presence of a high hydrostatic pressure. It is therefore of high interest to apply LSP on...
