Acting as one of the original cracks for interfacial delamination, the horizontal roughness-
induced top coat crack plays an important role in the premature failure of the air plasma …

The tensile bond strength of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) is an important criterion in
evaluating the quality of coatings, which depends significantly on the coatings' complex …

The residual interfacial stress plays an important role in crack initiating and propagating
along the interface, which could result in delamination failure of the thermal barrier coatings …

The residual stresses could cause extensive damage to thermal barrier coatings and even
failure. A finite element model of thermal barrier coating system had been designed to …

Residual stress has a significant influence on the crack nucleation and propagation in
thermal barrier coatings (TBC) system. In this work, the residual stress in the air plasma …

A Finite Element Model (FEM) was developed to evaluate the stresses induced by the
thermal cycling in a typical plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating system (TBCs). The …

The objective of this paper is to understand the effect of thermally grown oxide (TGO) on the
multiple surface cracking behaviors in an air plasma sprayed (APS) thermal barrier coating …

The interfacial fracture of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) at the ceramic-bond coat interface
occurs during the cooling period following exposure to high temperatures. Previous studies …

Failure of plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) is very complicated upon
temperature cycling, therefore, to ascertain the crack propagation behavior is beneficial to …

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have complex structures and service in the extremely high
temperatures. The cracking phenomenon is usually observed at both the top coat and the …
