Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have become an important element in hot section component durability. Anattempt was made to investigate the thermal and residual stress distribution in a novel three layer (۸YSZ/La۲Zr۲O۷/NiCrAlY) during a real-like heating regime which includes heating, service time and final cooling.Finite element approach with considering temperature dependency and also hybrid meshing was Heat fluxand nodal temperature contours indicated that, most of damaging and harmful thermal load and residualstress concentrate on ceramic top coats and this lead less harm and life time reduction in substrate.
