Abstract
Ballistic failure resistance is imparted to metallic ballistic armor plate by identifying a compressive residual stress profile for mitigating a predetermined ballistic failure mode in a metallic ballistic armor plate component, and imparting the identified compressive residual stress profile to the component by laser peening the component in a treatment mode predetermined with reference to the identified compressive residual stress profile.
