Methods are presented for modifying a physical property of a structure, such as reducing or relieving remaining internal stress, in which two or more energy types are concurrently applied to the structure to change the physical property of interest in an accelerated fashion. A first energy type is applied to the structure according to an operational setting, at least one of the operational setting and a time value derived from a first order rate relationship for the first energy type and from a first order rate relationship for a second energy type and according to a desired physical property value. The second energy type is applied to the structure at an energy level above an activation energy for the structure. The first and second energy processes are performed concurrently for at least the time value and the first order rate relationship for the first energy process relates application of the first energy type to the structure and a physical property of the structure. The first order rate relationship for the second energy process relates application of the second energy type to the structure and the physical property. |
