ANALYSIS OF THERMAL STRESS IN A FUNCTIONALLY GRADED COATING ON A PARABOLIC SUBSTRATE

摘要

The thermal stress field in a functionally graded coating on a parabolic substrate, where the material properties vary along the thickness direction, is considered. The closed-form solutions of thermal stresses related to compositional gradient, coating thickness and substrate curvature were obtained based on force and moment balances, and then numerical results are presented for several special examples. It is found that the magnitude and distribution of thermal stress in the functionally graded coating system with general geometrical shape can be designed properly by controlling the compositional gradient, coating thickness and substrate curvature.
