1. Engineering Ceramics for Tribological Systems. Manufacture, Properties and Testing
Abstract : A broad range of commercial and experimental grades of ceramics and ceramic composites was tested in various model tests and simplified component tests. The tests were done to establish important microstructural features, friction and wear mechanisms. READ MORE

2. Thermal shock and thermal fatigue in ceramic materials
Abstract : This thesis concerns thermal stress fracture in ceramicmaterials. The work describes a new technique for determiningthe thermal shock resistance of brittle materials as well asexperimental results and thermal stress simulations. READ MORE

3. Design of Thermal Barrier Coatings : A modelling approach
Abstract : Atmospheric plasma sprayed (APS) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are commonly used for thermal protection of components in modern gas turbine application such as power generation, marine and aero engines. TBC is a duplex material system consisting of an insulating ceramic topcoat layer and an intermetallic bondcoat layer. READ MORE

4. Thermal Barrier Coatings : Durability Assessment and Life Prediction
Abstract : Thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems are coating systems containing a metallic bond coat and a ceramic top coat. TBCs are used in gas turbines for thermal insulation and oxidation resistance. READ MORE

5. Thermal Barrier Coatings : Failure Mechanisms and Life Prediction
Abstract : Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) use in the hot sections of gas turbine engine enables them to run at higher temperatures, and as a consequence, achieve higher thermal efficiency. For full operational exploitation of TBCs, understanding their failure and knowing the service life is essential. READ MORE
