TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element method was employed to simulate the thermal transfer behavior of TBCs with different spatial and geometrical characteristic of pores, and the simulation results indicated that the thermal insulation effect would be enhanced when the pore size, pore volume fraction and pore layers which are perpendicular to the thickness direction increase and the space between the adjacent pores decreases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the research progress of the finite element modeling (FEM) on the study of the thermal insulation and associated failure problems of the TBCs and proposed a solution method based on the thermal-mechanical coupled technique.

TL;DR: In this paper, the residual stress of double-ceramic-layer (DCL) La2Zr2O7/8YSZ thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) fabricated by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) was calculated by finite element simulation using birth and death element technique.

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal shock behavior of three kinds of Al 2 O 3 /13 ¼wt%TiO 2 coatings fabricated by plasma spraying was studied. And the two kinds of nano coatings had much higher thermal shock resistance than the conventional coatings.

TL;DR: In this article, the elastic modulus, micro-hardness and Vickers hardness of nanostructured thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) exhibit bimodal distribution while the conventional 8YSZ exhibit mono-modal distribution.
