Although elastic modulus of ceramic coatings at elevated temperature is difficult to measure, it was evaluated in this work simply by impulse excitation tests based on the relative method that need only the measured moduli of coated sample and substrate. This novel method was demonstrated to be valid not only for the single layer coating but also for multilayer coatings.

A simple test approach named relative method is developed for determining the thermal expansion coefficient of ceramic coatings. Although ceramic coatings are hardly separated from the substrates, it was evaluated in this work simply by need only the measured thermal expansion coefficient of coated samples and substrates. This novel method was demonstrated to be valid for rectangular beam samples of two types of coating configurations: sandwich coating and around coating. The feasibility of this test method was confirmed by experimental results of SiC coating.

An analytical study was performed to study the effect of architecture on the initiation of surface cracking in multilayer ceramic coatings. Two modes of crack initiation were considered: 1) tension resulting from stress relaxation, and 2) cyclic thermal fatigue. Transient temperature distributions were determined using a finite difference technique, and stress distributions were calculated using a multilayer beam theory. The results showed that as more layers were added and as the ceramic coating became thinner, lower maximum surface stresses resulted during cooling after stress relaxation. Also, a thick eight layer coating had similar thermal fatigue behavior to a thin single layer coating. It was determined that a thick multilayer coating adds a significant amount of thermal protection when compared to a thin single layered coating.

Alumina ceramics are widely used in the demanding high temperature applications in which the high temperature elastic moduli (EHT) is a key property for their reliability and safety. In this paper, the elastic modulus of alumina was determined by dynamic method (impulse excitation technique) and static tests (three-point bending test and four-point bending test). For the static tests, the relative method was applied to determine the accurate deflection measurement in the heating furnace. The measured results revealed that the modulus of alumina slowly decreased from RT to 1000 °C and rapidly decreased with the increasing temperatures from 1000 °C to 1300°C. The EHT evaluated by dynamic method were higher than that tested by static tests with the reason of that impulse excitation technique only applied small forces onto a sample such that defects activity is negligible. Also the resonant frequencies couldn’t be measured easily at high temperature, because the vibration signal emitted by the sample was weak. The static approaches combined with relative method were beyond the limit to high temperatures, and they can be also used to evaluate the ultra-high temperature modulus.

Micro-hardness measurements of thin coatings have to face the problem of the influence of the substrate. Based on relative method and the relationship between the composite hardness (the hardness of the coated sample) and the substrate hardness, a new model is proposed to evaluate the absolute hardness of ceramic coatings. Indentation tests with various load levels were carried out with specimens of (Ti,Al)xN1-x/SiyN1-y composite coating on SKH51 steel substrate. The results were analyzed by the new model and compared with those calculated by J-H (Jönsson and Hogmark) and L-C (Lesage and Chicot) models. The mean coating hardness obtained from this model shows similar results with the J-H model but a little higher than that from L-C model.

AbstractIn contrast to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, there has been reported no specific pattern of cardiomyocyte array in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), partially because lack of alignment assessment in a three-dimensional (3D) manner. Here we have established a novel method to evaluate cardiomyocyte alignment in 3D using intravital heart imaging and demonstrated homogeneous alignment in DCM mice. Whilst cardiomyocytes of control mice changed their alignment by every layer in 3D and position twistedly even in a single layer, termed myocyte twist, cardiomyocytes of DCM mice aligned homogeneously both in two-dimensional (2D) and in 3D and lost myocyte twist. Manipulation of cultured cardiomyocyte toward homogeneously aligned increased their contractility, suggesting that homogeneous alignment in DCM mice is due to a sort of alignment remodelling as a way to compensate cardiac dysfunction. Our findings provide the first intravital evidence of cardiomyocyte alignment and will bring new insights into understanding the mechanism of heart failure.
