Abstract:  
Research News Comparing the Effect of Shot Peening and Laser Peening on Welds A recent research project that compared the effects of shot peening to laser peening on welds is a tribute to Henry O. Fuchs Ipresented this paper at ICF12 in July. I chose to work on this project for two reasons: First, the research is part of our SAE Fatigue Design Evaluation (SAEFDE) weld program that holds wide interest in SAE. Second, this is my last research project prior to my phased retirement and I wanted to honor Henry O. Fuchs
