Title: Two-dimensional inter-layer debonding in deposited multi-layers

Abstract

Two-dimensional problems of residual stress-driven inter-layer debonding or delamination in successively deposited isotropic multi-layers are studied, with direct applications to the modeling of delamination in multi-layered coatings and films. Planar and axisymmetric configurations of a delamination crack extending from a free edge are considered. The term successively deposited is used to designate that each layer experiences a free thermal contraction relative to the layers below it. Results for energy release rates as a function of crack length are presented from fracture mechanics models of planar and axisymmetric multi-layer geometries. In planar problems, energy release rates reach a constant value for crack lengths greater than one or two debond thicknesses and maintain this value until the multi-layer is almost completely debonded. In axisymmetric problems, energy release rates increase steadily with increasing crack length, reaching a maximum just before the multi-layer separates into two pieces. These observed energy release rate behaviors are explained qualitatively. Methods are outlined for quantitatively predicting the steady-state energy release rate for planar debonding problems. Methods are also outlined for determining a conservative upper bound for the maximum energy release rate for an axisymmetrically extending delamination crack. Both methods are based on potential energy calculations from a residualmore » stress model for an uncracked multi-layer. These easily-calculated energy release rate quantities for planar and axisymmetric delamination problems can be used to guide the specification of layer thicknesses, stacking sequences and other characteristics of multi-layered coatings and films.« less
