ANALYSIS OF INTERFACIAL BEHAVIOR IN MMCs AND IMCs BY THE USE OF THIN-SLICE PUSH-OUT TESTS

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of the single-fiber push-out test with the objective of studying the interface failure process in metallic and intermetallic-matrix composites (MMCs and IMCs) and extracting the shear properties of fiber/matrix interface from the experimental data is presented.

An Analytical Model for Simulation of Heat Flow in Plasma-Sprayed Thermal Barrier Coatings

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of pore geometry on conductive and radiative heat transfer within the coating has been investigated over a range of temperatures and gas pressures, and it is shown that the main factor controlling the conductivity is the intersplat bridge area.
