Thermal stress (σ) plays a critical role in regulating the stability and durability of thermal
barrier coatings (TBCs) during service. However, its measurements are limited due to …

Comprehensive understanding of failure mechanism of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) is
essential to develop the next generation advanced TBCs with longer lifetime. In this study, a …

A numerical study is conducted to investigate the effect of oxide growth on the stress
development within the plasma sprayed double-ceramic-layer thermal barrier coatings. The …

Healable conductive materials have received considerable attention. However, their
practical applications are impeded by low electrical conductivity and irreversible …

The lifespan of plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems is difficult to predict
owing to the variety of microstructures and deterioration histories. In this study, we …

A semi-analytical model is developed to predict the stress evolution within a multilayer
coating system during cyclic thermal loading. This model takes into account the temperature …

During service, thermal barrier coating will generally go through a series of complicated
nonlinear phenomena. In this work, a constitutive framework is provided for the sintering and …

Thermal barrier coating is subjected to out-of-plane displacements and possible in-plane
cracks as thermally grown oxide (TGO) grows at high temperatures. Three different schemes …

The bond-coat/TGO (thermally grown oxide) interface has been experimentally observed to
progressively undulate upon thermal cycling. This work presents a study on the role of TGO …

The investigation of the failure mechanism is essential for the application of thermal barrier
coating in the thrust chamber of liquid rocket engines. In this work, a four-layer thermal …
