Abstract: Damage evolution and failure characteristics were investigated for a 10 deg off-axis SiC/It unidirectional metal matrix composite (MMC) lamina subjected to monotonic loading. A replica technique ...

Abstract: Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) provide thermal insulation to high-temperature superalloys. Residual stresses develop in TBCs during cool-down from processing temperatures due to the thermal expansion ...

Abstract: In thermal barrier coatings (TBC) residual stresses develop during cool down from processing temperature due to the thermal expansion mismatch between the different layers (substrate, bond coat, ...

Abstract: In this study, thermal cycling response of quasi-isotropic metal-matrix composite (MMC) with a stacking sequence of [0/ ± 45/90]s was investigated. The thermal cycles were imposed between ...

Abstract: Progressive damage evolution leading to spallation was investigated in Electron Beam—Plasma Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD) partially stabilized zirconia thermal barrier coating (TBC) applied to Nickel-based ...

Abstract: The objective of this research is to design and optimize a mini/micro-channel based surface-accumulator of E. coli bacteria to be detected by acoustic wave biosensors. A computational approach ...
