The thermal stresses in a ceramic coating bonded to a metal substrate generated by heat flux conditions in an engine were studied. Edge delamination of the coating was related to the displacements of an interface crack between the ceramic and the metal. The effects of varying the thermal expansion coefficients of the ceramic, the bond coat and the metal, thin moduli of elasticity, their thicknesses and the initial stress-free temperature were determined.
