Abstract

Contact-induced radial cracking in ceramic coatings on compliant substrates was analyzed recently. Radial cracks initiate at the coating/substrate interface beneath the contact where maximum flexural tension occurs, and an analytical expression for the onset of radial cracking in monolayer coatings was formulated on the basis of the classical solution for flexing plates on elastic foundation. In the present study, the analytical expression was derived for the case of ceramic bilayer coatings on compliant substrates, which have significant applications in the structure of dental crowns. It was found that the analytical solution for bilayer-coating/substrate systems can be obtained from that of monolayer-coating/substrate systems by replacing the neutral surface position and the flexural rigidity of monolayer coating with those of bilayer coating. The predicted critical loads for initiating radial cracking were found to be in good agreement with existing measurements and finite element results for glass/alumina, glass/glass-ceramic, and glass/Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 polycrystal bilayers on polycarbonate substrates. Limitations of the present analysis are discussed.
