Abstract
A method for determining an equilibrium configuration for an object to be subjected to peening includes representing a bulk geometry of the object as a solid body and representing a surface of the object as a surface layer overlying the solid body. The method further includes expanding the surface layer in response to a number of thermal loads to simulate peening and balancing a number of forces on the surface layer and the solid body to determine the equilibrium configuration of the object after peening.
