Buckling delamination in compressed multilayers on curved substrates with accompanying ridge cracks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Residually compressed films and coatings are susceptible to buckle delamination. The buckles often have linear or telephone cord morphology. When the films are brittle, such buckles are susceptible to the formation of ridge cracks that extend along their length, terminating close to the propagating front. The ridge-cracked buckles are invariably straight-sided (not telephone cord) and differ in width. Buckle delaminations of this type occur on flat and curved substrates: having greatest technological relevance in the latter. They occur not only in single layer films but also in multilayers, such as thermal barrier systems. Establishing the mechanics of ridge-cracked buckle delaminations for multilayers on curved substrates serves two purposes. (a) It allows the prediction of buckle delamination and spalling for technologically important systems. (b) It provides a test protocol for measuring properties such as the delamination toughness of the interface and the stresses in the layers. Both objectives are addressed in the article: the latter by devising an inverse algorithm. Implementation of the algorithm is demonstrated for diamond-like carbon films on planar glass substrates and a thermal barrier multilayer on a curved superalloy substrate. r 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Analysis of post-buckling and delamination in laminated composite St. Venant–Kirchhoff beams using CZM and layer-wise TSNDT
A layer-wise third order shear and normal deformable plate/shell theory (TSNDT) incorporating a cohesive zone model (CZM) is used to study the initiation and growth of delamination in straight and curved laminated beams. Upon satisfaction of the delamination criteria at a point on the interface between two layers, displacements there of two abutting points on the interface between the two layer...
متن کاملOn the propagation and coalescence of delamination cracks in compressed coatings: with application to thermal barrier systems
Coatings subject to residual compression eventually fail by buckle-driven delamination. The phenomenon is most vivid in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) used in gas turbines. The failure evolution commences with the formation of a large number of small cracks at geometric imperfections near the interface. These cracks spread upon thermal exposure, particularly upon thermal cycling, because of th...
متن کاملDelamination of compressed 'lms on curved substrates
Delamination is considered for thin elastic 'lms that are bonded to cylindrical substrates and subject to an equi-biaxial compressive pre-stress. Results for both positive and negative curvatures are obtained. The 'lm buckles or de2ects (depending on the sign of the curvature) away from the substrate inducing mixed mode stress intensities at the edge of the delamination. The energy release rate...
متن کاملInfluence of substrate compliance on buckling delamination of thin films
A thin film subject to in-plane compressive stress is susceptible to buckling-driven delamination. This paper analyzes a straight-sided delamination buckle with a focus on the effects of substrate compliance, following earlier work by B. Cotterell and Z. Chen. The critical buckling condition, the energy release rate and the mode mix of the interface delamination crack are calculated as a functi...
متن کاملStability of Straight Delamination Blisters
We consider the buckle-driven delamination of biaxially compressed thin films. Telephone-cord-like patterns observed in experiments are explained as a result of the buckling behavior of the film. We perform a stability analysis of a straight blister. A mechanism of instability causing undulations in an advancing finger of delamination is pointed out, which we claim to be the basic phenomenon ex...
