TLDR
In this paper, a finite element model was developed to evaluate stresses induced by thermal cycling of a typical plasma sprayed thermal barrier coating (TBC) system and it was found that oxidation of the bond coat had a strong effect on ceramic layer stresses and that oxidation induced stresses were influenced by other factors, such as bond coat creep, top coat creep and bond coat roughness.
Abstract
Oxidation of the bond coat of a thermal barrier coating (TBC) is an important contributing factor to spallation of the ceramic top coat during service. However, the mechanisms by which oxidation facilitates TBC failure are poorly understood. It is also unclear how oxidation may interact with other potential degradation mechanisms. A finite element model was developed to evaluate stresses induced by thermal cycling of a typical plasma sprayed TBC system. It was found that oxidation of the bond coat had a strong effect on ceramic layer stresses and that oxidation induced stresses were influenced by other factors, such as bond coat creep, top coat creep and bond coat roughness.

Oxidation‐Based Model for Thermal Barrier Coating Life

TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for modeling the lives of thermal barrier coatings subjected to high-temperatrue environments is described, based on the assumption that oxidation is the single important time-dependent factor which limits the life of these coatings, and that oxidation-induced strains combine with cyclic strains to promote slow crack growth in the ceramic layer.
