(3 units). Investigation of failure mechanisms and mechanics of high-temperature protective coatings. Examples are given for thermal barrier coatings, oxidation resistance coatings. The detail mechanics involves coating adhesion, bond strength, interfacial fracture toughness, buckling, delamination, spallation and life prediction. Course Component: Lecture
