Modelling the Effects of Element Doping and Temperature Cycling on the Fracture Toughness of β-NiAl / α-Al2O3 Interfaces in Gas Turbine Engines
This document describes work performed related to the determination of how elemental additions affect the interfacial fracture toughness of thermal barrier coatings at the bond coat/thermally grown oxide interface in gas turbines. These turbines are exposed to cyclical thermal loading, therefore a s...
