Abstract
The invention, in another form thereof, comprises a method of laser shock peening the surface of a solid material with or without the use of a transparent overlay material. An energy absorbing coating is applied to a portion of the surface of a solid material. An ultraviolet-curable resin coating is applied to the energy absorbing coating and the curable resin is exposed to an ultraviolet light and forms a pellicle over the energy absorbing coating. A pulse of coherent energy is directed to the energy absorbing coating of the solid material to create a shock wave.
