Uniaxial tension is a common technique to characterize the adhesive strength of plasma-
sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). In this work, the crack initiation, growth, and …

An acoustic emission technique was used to monitor the cracking behavior and fracture
process of thermal barrier coatings subjected to tensile loading. Acoustic emission signals …

Plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), as-sprayed and pre-oxidized, were tested
under four-point tensile bending conditions, and their acoustic emission (AE) responses …

Acoustic emission (AE) as a non-destructive evaluation technique has recently been used in
a number of studies to investigate the performance and failure behavior of plasma sprayed …

In this research work, real-time three-point bending coupled with the scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) technique were used to study the crack formation and growth of air …

Numerous cracks can be observed in the top coat of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs)
deposited by the atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) method. These cracks can be …

Only a few of the numerous studies on plasma-sprayed thick thermal barrier coatings
(TTBCs) have focused on the relationship between the thermal shock resistance of the …

Cracking and fracture behavior in a plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating system were
evaluated using a sandwiched specimen under uni-axial tensile stress combined with an in …

Clarification of crack generation mechanism in the top coat of the thermal barrier coatings
(TBCs) during atmospheric plasma spray process is important to improve the reliability of …

In this paper, the failure behavior of plasma-sprayed yttria-stabilized zirconia thermal barrier
coatings fabricated by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS-TBCs) under three-point bending …
