The advancement of the design and technology of manufacturing industrial turbines for power generation at power plants and the driving force of many systems, such as aircraft engines, depends on the increase in efficiency of these turbines. The need for a high-temperature operation to increase efficiency has led to the use of protective coatings called Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) to protect turbine equipment against destructive conditions and relatively high thermal loads. However, the coatings themselves are also gradually affected by these destructive conditions. Hence, in the past years in the technology of fabricating TBCs, vertical cracks are created in this coating, thereby increasing the lifespan of thermal barrier coatings and increasing their shelf life. In the present study, based on the microstructural characteristics of thermal barrier coatings, first, the modeling of the deposition process and the fabrication of these coatings was done using the finite element method. In this modeling, the deposition process of TBCs for studying the thermal and mechanical behavior of these coatings simulated. Then the temperature field and the residual stresses obtained during and after the deposition process and cooling to ambient temperature has been studied. The results show that the maximum residual stress after cooling is at the interface between the substrate and the bond coat and is about 304 MPa. Subsequently, by applying thermal loading and simulating the actual working conditions of the turbine, the thermal and mechanical behavior of TBCs was evaluated in working conditions and the distribution of the temperature and stress field in the system was calculated. Next, the obtained results and the accuracy of the proposed model validated by experimental reports. Then, vertical cracks applied in the model using the XFEM and simulation of TBCs was performed. Finally, by comparison of the simulation results of the cracked coatings with non-crack coatings, it was found that the presence of cracks in the coatings resulted in the release of a significant amount of residual stress. Also in the presence of cracks, bearing of the coating anti-shock shields increase, which increases the durability and lifespan of the coatings.
