        abstract = {A Finite element model of plasma sprayed
TBC?s was developed to estimate the stress
induced by thermal cycling experiments. A heat
transfer analysis was performed to evaluate the
temperature distribution on the specimen during the cooling under an impinging air jet; temperature measurements performed with an infrared pyrometer on the cooled samples show good agreement with the evaluated data. These results were then integrated in a structural
mechanic model as thermal load. The COMSOL Multiphysics? Thermal-Structural interaction model allowed to determine the dependence of the stress on the temperature fields},
