Abstract
A delamination of thermal barrier coatings (TBC) applied to turbine blades in gas turbine could be caused by a high-velocity impingement of various foreign objects. It is important to accurately predict the size of interfacial crack for safety operation of gas turbine. In this study, in order to establish a practical equation for prediction of the length of interfacial crack, a high velocity impingement test and a finite element analysis (FEA) based on a cohesive model were conducted. As the result, the length of interfacial crack is linearly increased with the impact velocity. In addition, it was confirmed that it was accurately estimated by the FEA. The equation for prediction of the length of interfacial crack was formulated based on these results and the energy conservation before and after impingement. Finally, the applicability of the equation was demonstrated in a wide range of impact velocity through a comparison with the experimental results.
