Finite Element Analysis of Multilayered and Functionally Gradient Tribological Coatings With Measured Material Properties (Preprint)

摘要

Proper design of functionally gradient (FG) coatings requires a thorough understanding of layer architecture, chemistry and mechanical properties. An elastic-plastic model has been developed to study the stress distribution in multilayered FG coatings using finite element method to achieve optimum design architecture for high wear resistance and low friction.
