André Simonneau studied mechanical engineering at the University of Poitiers and was awarded a Ph.D. in materials science from the University of Limoges in 1989. From 2008–2024, he worked at Texelis, focusing on the design and durability of gears for light rail systems and heavy-duty trucks.
This study aims to investigate the effect of this identified type of shot peening on the micropitting resistance of the gear tooth flanks and the macropitting resistance and to compare the experimental results with the calculation results based on standard methods.
