An image-based model for the sintering of air plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings

A micromechanical model is developed to predict microstructure evolution and the resultant in-plane modulus increase in a thermal barrier coating (TBC) manufactured by air plasma spray (APS). The model is based on the experimental observation that the main sintering events include the progressive he...
