    Abstract
    In the present paper, numerical simulation of thermal barrier coating system under thermo-mechanical loadings is performed, using the finite element method in ABAQUS software. The base material is Aluminum-silicon alloy, A356.0 which is widely used in automotive components such as diesel engine cylinder heads. Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are applied to combustion chamber in order to reduce fuel consumption and pollutions and also improve fatigue life of components. The roughness effect of coating layers on stress distribution of test specimens is investigated. Semi-ellipsoid roughness of the interfaces between substrate/bond coat and bond coat/top coat are simulated to get the stress...

    Abstract
    Cast aluminium-silicon alloy, A356.0, is widely used in automotive components such as diesel engine cylinder heads and also in aerospace industries because of its outstanding mechanical, physical, and casting properties. Thermal barrier coatings are applied to combustion chamber in order to reduce fuel consumption and pollutions and also improve fatigue life of components. However, studies on behaviour of A356.0 with thermal barrier coating are still rare. The purpose of the present work is to simulate stress distribution of A356.0 under thermo-mechanical cyclic loadings, using a two-layer elastic-visco-plastic model of ABAQUS software. The results of stress-strain hysteresis loop are...
