The evolution of mechanical properties, namely Young's modulus, hardness, fracture
toughness and residual stresses of air plasma-sprayed 8 wt% Y 2 O 3-stabilized ZrO 2 …

In the present study, the detailed evaluation of nanomechanical properties in terms of
hardness and Young׳ s modulus of duplex and compositionally graded YSZ based thermal …

High temperature fracture toughness and residual stress are important for the evaluation of
TBCs. In this paper, an in-situ high temperature indentation method was originally …

In this study, we investigated the mechanical behaviors of layered thermal barrier coatings
by indentations. Various single and double-layered thermal barrier coatings were deposited …

In thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), the toughness relative to the interface lying either
