Multiscale modelling of sintering in thermal barrier coatings

<p>Multiscale (analytical and computational) models have been developed based on a thermodynamic variational principle (TVP) to model sintering and eventual mudcracking in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) made using the electron beam physical vapour deposition (EB-PVD) process. It is assumed th...
