Many factors influence the durability of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), therefore, in order to
tailor these engineering materials for high-temperature applications, it is required to have a …

A critical overview of past research on the interaction integral (I-integral) method is
presented. The I-integral is the two-state mutual energy release rate decided by a …

A modified mixed mode fracture criterion, called generalized maximum energy release rate
criterion, is proposed to predict the fracture initiation angles and estimate the fracture …

Ever-increasing energy costs and environmental restrictions have compelled researchers to
focus on the reutilization of vast amounts of industrial by-products such as blast furnace slag …

In this paper, the thermal conductivity and Young's modulus of the thermal barrier coating
(TBC) system with various pore morphologies are numerically investigated. A multi …

Bilayer thermal barriers coatings of Dense Ceria-Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (D-CYSZ)/Yttria-
Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) were deposited onto Inconel 625 using atmospheric plasma spray …

This work numerically studies the interface cracking behavior in the high-temperature
coatings that contain non-uniformly distributed segmentation cracks within the outermost …

Plasma spray-physical vapor deposition (ie, PS-PVD) is a promising method for obtaining
advanced environmental barrier coatings (EBCs). The EBCs must meet some requirements …

Abstract A SiC/ZrB 2-SiC/SiC triple-layer coating was fabricated successively by chemical
vapor deposition (CVD), slurry brushing-sintering and CVD for C/SiC composites. To …

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs)–as porous ceramic materials–have varying lifetimes
because of their unstable mechanical properties and harsh working conditions. In this paper …
