Macromechanical-based fracture assessment supported with acoustic emission of a layered structure with an organic-inorganic sol-gel thin layer

Thin-layer coatings are widely used in industry to enhance structural performance and prevent corrosion-induced degradation. Fracture performance is one of the key aspects investigated to improve interface durability. Nowadays, parameters such as the energy release rate (G) and s...
