Abstract: Delamination cracking in thermal barrier coating (TBC) system is studied with the newly developed theoretical model. A semi-infinite long interface crack is pre-existing. The thermal stress and ...

Abstract: The elastic-plastic finite element method of a dynamic explicit algorithm was used to simulate the deep drawing processes of nickel coating electrodeposited on a steel substrate to form an ...

Abstract: The theoretical model for the blister test method was used to analyze the interface fracture toughness of zirconia coating deposited on an SUS304 stainless steel substrate by a plasma-spraying ...

Abstract: Thermal damage of SiC particulate-reinforced aluminum composites (MMCs) caused by laser thermal shock was investigated. The damage was induced by a combination of laser beam thermal shock and ...

Abstract: During an earthquake, the casualties and economic loss due to infrastructure failure, such as bridges, are prohibitive. In addition, the deterioration in the steel reinforcements in bridges due to corrosion issues leads ...
