Outstanding Papers from ICSP-10

摘要

It all started in 1980 when Abbas Niku-Lari convened a meeting in Las Vegas to organize the first International Conference on Shot Peening in Paris. Close to 400 delegates attended from around the world to explore the opportunities to advance the science of peening. What evolved from that farsighted effort are tri-annual conferences held around the globe and tremendous research and development in the shot peening industry. The most recent conference held in Tokyc continued the tradition of sharing information on innovations and adaptations in the war against metal fatigue. There were 91 papers presented in Tokyo at ICSP-10 which brings the total number of conference papers to 640. That's pretty impressive for an industry that's relatively unknown by many academics and industrial engineers and often referred to as the stepchild of the abrasive blast cleaning industry.
