Although many studies have been performed to extend the knowledge about this process, analytical studies in the field of VSR process seems to require wider efforts to introduce the concept more clearly and extensively. In this study, a theoretical model is proposed based on an analytical equation. The proposed equation was modified in terms of required variables including frequency, amplitude, and vibration duration to encompass more practical parameters compared to the previous models. Thus, essential VSR parameters including the number of cycles as a representative of treatment duration, strain rate as a representative of frequency, and the amplitude were embedded in the model to make it comprehensively practical. Experimental tests were also performed and residual stress distribution was measured by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) method for certain points to compare the experimental results with the theoretical output. An acceptable range of conformation was observed between theoretical and experimental results.}, type={Article}, title={A theoretical analysis of vibrational stress relief in AISI 1008 as a mechanical treatment}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/120810/PDF/AME_2021_138398.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ame.2021.138398}, keywords={VSR, equation, theoretical analysis, residual stress}, }
