This paper demonstrates how micro-cracks at the surface of metals can be detected and
imaged by near-field microwave techniques from the crack-induced variations of the …

Thick multilayer composite structures based on sandwiched dielectric honeycomb and foam
cores are extensively utilized in the construction of many structural and protective …

Early failure induced by the cooling-hole structure and the interface morphology has
significant influence on the integrity of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). Thus, understanding …

Abstract CaO-MgO-Al 2 O 3-SiO 2 (CMAS) penetration is an essential factor leading to the
failure of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), especially around the film-cooling hole structure of …

Laser fabrication of cooling holes in certain parts of the aero-engine components involves
percussion or trepan drilling at acute angles to the surface. These parts are often covered …

Laser fabrication of cooling holes in certain parts of the aero-engine components involves
percussion or trepan drilling at acute angles (eg, 16–30 deg) to the surface. These parts are …
