Fig. 8From: Stress evolution in thermal barrier coatings for rocket engine applicationsEvolution of temperature vs. elastic strain with and without plasticity for a material point at the coating’s surface for a coating thickness of 45 μm/45 μm. For the elastic case, there is no change in the strains if several cycles are performed; for the plastic case, the first cycle differs from subsequent cycles, but no changes occur after the second cycle since there is no further plastic deformationBack to article page
