ABSTRACT TOPICS

We welcome abstracts from the community against the following broad themes. The Conference Committee will consider abstracts that fall outside the areas explicitly mentioned here, but which are aligned with the overall aims of the conference series. In addition to papers that deal with applications from the core business of Laser Peening in the aerospace and power generation industries, we are particularly interested in research into the use of Laser Peening in power generation, automotive, marine, mining, and medical industries.
