.... The evolution of thermal cycling damage and failure mechanisms are discussed. The role of interfacial microstructure, the stability of phases, and the underlying mechanisms for life enhancement in the presence of SiC interlayer for plasma-sprayed Y 2 O 3 coating for high-temperature applications are highlighted...

... within the test specimen during thermal cycling. Based on the model results, the low cycle fatigue life was estimated using the Coffin–Manson equation, which relates the number of cycles to crack initiation to the plastic strain range per cycle. The experimentally obtained fatigue lives were appreciably...
