Multiscale modelling of sintering in thermal barrier coatings
- Abstract:
-
Multiscale (analytical and computational) models have been developed based on a thermodynamic variational principle (TVP) to model sintering and eventual mudcracking in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) made using the electron beam physical vapour deposition (EB-PVD) process. It is assumed that the sintering occurs by interfacial diffusion at local contacts between columns and driven by changes in interface free energy and elastic stored energy of the coating. The models link diffusional pro...
