Our collaborative research featured in DLR’s magazine
Our research collaboration with DLR (German Aerospace Center), CSU and Argonne National Laboratory was featured in DLR’s latest magazine on their website. The NSF funded international collaboration that started with a summer research experience for the UCF team in Germany has successfully initiated in 
situ synchrotron measurements of thermal barrier coatings under thermal gradients an mechanical loads. The first of our publications in Review of Scientific Instruments is now available.Ongoing research will capture the strain evolution within the layers of these high temperature coating systems that protect turbine blades under jet engine operational conditions
