摘要
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 simulate the residual stresses and then to analyze the crack nucleation behavior. The distribution of normal and tangential stress components along top coat (TC) / thermally grown oxide (TGO) and TGO / bond coat (BC) interfaces are shown in this work. It is found that the maximum tensile stress along TC/TGO interface occurs in the peak region during heating-up, and that along TGO/BC interface is also located in the peak region, but during the process of cooling-down. A parameter correlating the normal stress component with corresponding tangential one was used to evaluate the interfacial cracks, indicating that cracks will initiate at the peak-off region of TC/TGO interface in the heating-up phase, but for TGO/BC interface, cracks will initiate at the peak position in the cooling-down phase.
