Tr. Watkins et al., DETERMINATION OF YOUNGS MODULUS IN CHEMICALLY VAPOR-DEPOSITED SIC COATINGS, Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 76(8), 1993, pp. 1965-1968
Young's modulus of CVD and SiC coatings was measured in situ (on the s
ubstrate) using strain gage/flexure and dynamic resonance techniques.
The average Young's moduli of CVD SiC from these techniques were 446 a
nd 415 GPa, respectively, and were considered to be in good agreement.
The determination of a representative coating thickness and cross sec
tion is critical in order to accurately estimate Young's modulus of co
atings.
