This work describes the application of two-dimensional finite element models with a cohesive zone to study quasi-static crack extension in functionally graded Yttria stabilized Zirconia (YSZ)-Bond Coat (BC) alloy (NiCoCrAlY) thermal barrier coatings (TBC). Crack growth under a single heating-cooling cycle simulating a laser thermal shock experiment is considered. The traction-separation relations for YSZ and BC alloy are coupled to yield a traction-separation relation for the individual layers of the graded TBC. Results from laser thermal shock experiments are then used for a systematic evaluation of the material properties in this traction-separation relation. The effective work of separation for YSZ-BC alloy composites, which is indicative of the material's fracture toughness, is then computed. The model is then used to predict the surface thermal fracture response in a graded TBC having an architecture different from the coatings that were used to evaluate the cohesive properties. These model predictions are then compared with results from laser thermal shock experiments.
