A 3 years contract with TAI — SSM — The Rotary Wing Technology Center (DKTM) is signed to conduct resarch on “Numerical Modeling and Simulation of TBC Systems”. Within the scope of the project we will be
developing a mechanism-based continuum model that incorporate time dependent diffusion, oxidative phase transformation, elastic-viscoplastic deformation and realistic interface behaviour which are considered as the local conditions responsible for TBC failure.
