- TITLE: FINITE ELEMENT SIMULATIONS OF STATIC MECHANICAL SURFACE TREATMENT PROCESSES - A REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
- ABSTRACT: This article reviews finite element (FE) simulations of static mechanical surface treatment (MST) processes for metal components. These static burnishing methods, based on severe plastic deformations of the surface and subsurface layers, improve the surface integrity (SI) of the respective components dramatically and thus their operational properties. The finite element method (FEM) is a basic method used for numerical investigations of MST processes. Although FEM always requires experimental verification and an experiment to establish an adequate material constitutive model, this method saves the researcher significant time and resources. In this article, a comprehensive analysis of the published studies devoted to FE simulations of static MST processes has been conducted. Based on the analysis, five basic conditions have being established in order to build an adequate FE model of the static burnishing process
