Abstract: The thermal fracture behavior in functionally graded yttria stabilized zirconia–NiCoCrAlY bond coat alloy thermal barrier coatings was studied using analytical models. The response of three coating ...

Abstract: The effect of a transient thermal load on a coating which is bonded to a cylindrical substrate is analyzed using fracture mechanics by considering the presence of a circumferential edge crack ...

Abstract: The thermal stresses in a metallic thin film bonded to a ceramic coating on a metal substrate, generated by heat flux conditions in an engine, were studied. The film yields as a result of ...

Abstract: The thermal stresses in a ceramic coating bonded to a metal substrate generated by heat flux conditions in an engine were studied. Edge delamination of the coating was related to the displacements ...

Abstract: An analytical study was performed to study the effect of architecture on the initiation of surface cracking in multilayer ceramic coatings. Two modes of crack initiation were considered: 1) ...

Abstract: Controlled experiments and a corresponding analytical model were developed to investigate the reasons for crack initiation in multilayer ceramic thermal barrier coatings. The experiments and model ...

Abstract: The interface crack between two dissimilar materials subjected to a tension load was analyzed using the finite element method in order to study the “open” and “closed” crack tip formulations ...
