Summary Laser shock peening (LSP) is an emerging surface treatment technology for metallic materials, which appears to produce more significant compressive residual stresses than those from the conventional shot peening (SP) for fatigue, corrosion and wear resistance, etc. The finite element method has been applied to simulate the laser shock peening treatment to provide the overall numerical assessment of the characteristic physical processes and transformations. However, the previous researchers mostly focused on metallic specimens with simple geometry, e.g. flat surface. The current work investigates geometrical effects of metallic specimens with curved surface on the residual stress fields produced by LSP process using three-dimensional finite element (3-D FEM) analysis and aluminium alloy rods with a middle scalloped section subject to two-sided laser shock peening. Specimens were numerically studied to determine dynamic and residual stress fields with varying laser parameters and geometrical parameters, e.g. laser power intensity and radius of the middle scalloped section. The results showed that the geometrical effects of the curved target surface greatly influenced residual stress fields.
