Abstract:The effects of severe thermal- and pressure-transients on coated substrates with indentation-induced, blister defects were analyzed using experimental and finite-element methods. An explicit FEA approach was first used to assess the transient thermal- and stress-states and the propensity for fracture related damage and evolution, under uniform convection and pressure transients across the surface; cohesive zone properties were evaluated in a previous study before being applied in an implicit indentation simula… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
