Gnome Logic: Evidence-Based Strategies For High-Impact Medical Education Pathways, Barbra A. Roller, Sasha R. Sioni

Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education

Socioeconomic inequities divert underrepresented talent from the physician pipeline. Integrating Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), leaky-pipeline diagnostics, and 14 years of mixed-methods research on Florida International University’s pathway program, we present a logic model aligning Goals, Needs, Objectives, Methods, and Evaluation (GNOME). GNOME links diagnosed barriers to SCCT-aligned supports and pre-specified metrics, yielding gains in self-efficacy, application intent, and matriculation. The model offers a practical, cost-effective roadmap for institutions seeking a more equitable medical workforce.

Methodologies And Applications Of Precision Shot Peening To Hole Or Slot Geometry, James C. Hoffman

15th International Conference on Shot Peening

Shot peening, a commonly used method of fatigue and surface enhancement, is a critical process in many of the components in the aerospace industry. When it comes to small holes and/or slot geometries in these components, the process can become a challenge when these features are smaller than a conventional size Almen strip. In these cases, a decision must be made about how to process this type of geometry. Oftentimes, the method to apply the shot peen process is already defined in a process specification or part print so we must adhere to that method. If a method is not …

Portable Inspection Technology For Shot Peening As Preventive Maintenance At Steel Bridges, Yoshihiro Watanabe, Ryosuke Watanabe, Mitsuru Handa, Kanehisa Hattori, Masato Yamawaki, Koji Kinoshita

15th International Conference on Shot Peening

Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) is a non-destructively technique to study open-volume lattice defects such as vacancies or dislocations, which is used for fatigue, aging and shot peening inspection. In this study, we developed a portable PALS apparatus that has the ability for on-site measurement[1,2]. We developed the light-shielding technique which enable us to do on-site measurement. Furthermore, we downsized the apparatus size using Monte Carlo simulation technique. We validated that the developed portable apparatus has the same measurement capabilities as the conventional system[1]. We concluded that the developed portable apparatus is sufficiently able to capture the change caused by …

Community Engagement Networks: Utilizing The Untethered, Theresa M. Harrison

Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education

In this forum commentary, I discuss those who fall outside the traditional community engagement professional (CEP) roles and how they can be better used in community engagement networks. As a staff member not working in or affiliated with a community engagement office, I feel untethered. Staff, faculty, and CEPs deeply invested in community engagement efforts need community engagement networks both within and outside our institutions that accommodate various roles and their unique contributions.

The E-Strip® As A Tool For Predictive Maintenance To Monitor And Control Shot Peening Processes, Walter A. Beach, Scott Glasier

15th International Conference on Shot Peening

The primary objective of this paper is to demonstrate the E-Strip® is capable of providing real-time feedback to the machine controller for making necessary process adjustments due to external forces, such as machine wear. Adjustments may include regulating air pressure and shot flow within pre-defined tolerances dictated by specification. It is anticipated that this integrated approach will significantly reduce variations in intensity levels observed from part to part and lot to lot.

Roughness Parameters For Evaluating Blasted Or Shot Peened Surfaces, Stefanie Stoeckel, Sophie Groeger

15th International Conference on Shot Peening

A review of the papers presented at the last three International Conferences on Shot Peening revealed that the most used parameters are Ra and Rz. There has been comparatively little exploration of other parameters, particularly the S-parameters. Furthermore, the ISO 4287 standard for profile parameters was replaced by the new ISO 21920-2 standard in 2021. This is accompanied by the introduction of new parameters as well as alterations to existing ones. This paper demonstrates the limitations of Ra and Rz, as well as Sa and Sz, and explores additional areal and profile parameters that are useful for the description of …

E-Strip® Peening Intensity Sensor - Linearity, Variability And Connectivity, Sylvain A. Forgues, Brigitte Labelle, Ramzi Ben Moussa, Sebastien Beaugrand, Raphael Sarraillon, Sergio Amaya

15th International Conference on Shot Peening

This paper presents the E-Strip®, a novel electronic sensor developed by Shockform to digitally measure shot peening intensity at the part level. Motivated by the limitations of traditional Almen strips—namely, manual handling, time consumption, and susceptibility to human error—the E-Strip® offers a faster, more reliable, and connected alternative. Extensive testing confirmed the E-Strip® output maintains excellent linearity with Almen intensity across a wide range of media and impact levels (R² > 0.997), and its adjustable sensitivity ensures compatibility from low to high intensities. Variability studies showed the E-Strip® provides similar or better consistency than Almen strips at low intensities, although higher …

The deep penetration of laser peening (LP) and retention of residual stress at high temperature by LP is significant in improving fatigue life and strength of superalloys exposed to high temperature and corrosion. Single crystal CMSX-4, was evaluated for stress relaxation and both fatigue life and fatigue strength of material that was LP-treated compared to non-LP and shot-peened (SP) specimens. LP was done with multiple layers using a 20 J/pulse laser where the laser high energy enabled using a 5 mm spot size on the metal surface. Stress measurements by the slitting technique showed the plastic penetration depth exceeded SP …

Application Of Burnishing Process Expected To Frictional Heat To Non-Oriented Electromagnetic Steel Sheet, Yuji Kobayashi, Masato Okada

15th International Conference on Shot Peening

Burnishing is a technology used to improve the surface roughness of metals. On the other hand, it is expected that the metal structure near the surface will change due to strong distortion.

The magnetic properties of electromagnetic steel sheets depend on large crystal grains and fine crystals near the surface[1]. In particular, thinner fine crystal grain layers on the surface are expected to reduce iron loss. In this study, the power generation characteristics of Burnished electromagnetic steel sheets were evaluated.

Electromotive force waveform was evaluated by rotating the laminated electromagnetic steel sheets and using a spindle motor. The electromotive force …

The Effects Of Shot Peening Highly Loaded Compression Springs, David J. Breuer
