Abstract
Stress measurements in the thermally grown oxide layer of thermal barrier coatings are presented. Stresses were determined from photoluminescence measurements made through the zirconia top layer as a function of the number of thermal cycles. Photoluminescence experiments determined that the photoluminescence signal originated in the thermally grown oxide and not in the zirconia.
